Pittsburghers with a house full of furry friends may want to count how many paws are under their roof. City law generally prohibits a person from owning, harboring or maintaining more than five dogs or cats, or any combination of the two, within Pittsburgh. That means a household could have five dogs, five cats or a mix such as three cats and two dogs. A sixth dog or cat would generally put the household over the limit. The restriction applies specifically to dogs and cats, making descriptions of the ordinance as a broad “five-pet limit” potentially misleading. Pittsburgh Animal Care and Control provides information for pet owners and the city's requirements at pittsburghpa.gov . When Pittsburgh allows more than five dogs or cats The city provides exceptions to the five-animal limit. Residents who foster dogs or cats and help place them in permanent homes can keep more than five if they obtain an exemption permit from Pittsburgh Animal Care and Control. Permitted kennels and catteries also are exempt from the limit. The exception extends to kennels registered with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Sign up: Don’t wait for tomorrow.

Allegheny County homeowners can better understand their property tax bills by knowing how assessed values, millage rates and payment deadlines determine what they owe. Property tax bills rely on several figures. The calculation begins with a property's assessed value, which is used with a millage rate to determine the tax owed. Homeowners may see more than one millage rate because Allegheny County, municipalities and school districts can each establish their own rates. Those separate taxes contribute to a property's overall tax burden. Allegheny County property tax payment deadlines Payment timing can affect how much a homeowner owes. For Allegheny County real estate taxes, taxpayers received a 2% discount for paying by March 31. The face amount was due April 30. After that deadline, the county applies a one-time 5% penalty, then 1% interest for each month the bill remains unpaid. Those dates apply to county real estate taxes and should not automatically be used for every property tax bill. Municipalities and school districts can have different collection schedules. How reassessment could affect property taxes Property reassessment adds another factor for Allegheny County homeowners to watch. The county has been using 2012 base-year property values, but a court has ordered a

Allegheny County officials are launching a communitywide campaign to help residents maintain Medicaid coverage as new federal eligibility requirements take effect Jan. 1, 2027. The changes, enacted under the federal Big Beautiful Bill Act, will require many Medicaid recipients to renew their coverage every six months and answer additional questions on lengthy renewal forms. County officials and health care providers say the outreach effort is intended to prevent eligible residents from losing coverage because they miss deadlines or struggle to navigate the renewal process. “Too many people risk losing health coverage even if they are working or eligible for exemptions simply because they are unaware of new requirements or don’t know where to turn for help,” County Executive Sara Innamorato said. Organizations across the county team up The Allegheny County Department of Human Services is partnering with health care providers and community organizations to offer training, public information sessions, text reminders and online advertising.
