| The Borough of Wilkinsburg has an innovative way for qualified business owners, developers and investors to invest in commercial property in the Borough through a Tax Base Expansion Ordinance. The ordinance includes Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance (LERTA) and Tax Compromise components.
The LERTA application, referred to as the Wilkinsburg Tax Abatement Program, offers a 10 year graduated increase in property taxes on improvements made to real property in Wilkinsburg. Any person, organization, corporation, limited liability company, partnership or association may apply. The application must be submitted when acquiring a building permit for improvement or construction. The Tax Compromise Program addresses the issue of back taxes on real estate owed to the Borough and the Wilkinsburg School District. This ordinance is a result of a joint tax committee of the Borough, the Wilkinsburg School District and Allegheny County. The aim of these efforts is to reduce barriers to private investment in the Borough and to enhance existing and upcoming economic development projects.

More information and applications are posted on the Wilkinsburg Borough website. Completed applications should be submitted to the Wilkinsburg Borough Manager’s office.
