Tax Forgiveness Program

Monessen's active Tax Forgiveness Program provides a process for qualifying purchasers of properties with delinquent taxes to seek forgiveness through the City's Tax Forgiveness Board. Applicants should review the ordinance and speak with the City before committing to a purchase.

Before purchasing a property: Rehabilitation may require substantial funding and specialized work. Program completion and occupancy requirements matter. Purchasing a property does not guarantee tax forgiveness; buyers may become responsible for taxes if the program is not completed successfully. Obtain a title review and independent professional advice as appropriate.

To discuss the process, call City Hall at 724-684-9000: Mayor Ron Mozer, extension 103, or City Administrator Mike Korposh, extension 100.

The Westmoreland County repository list may provide another way to identify available properties. Repository sales follow a different process; verify title, liens, eligibility, and current terms with the County.
