Scott resident Mike Suley, an assessment/tax consultant, received two awards recently.
A proclamation from Allegheny County Council acknowledged his 40-plus years as an advocate for homeowners. He also is a consultant in a lawsuit against the county assessment office claiming that it artificially inflates tax bills in the appeals process.
Suley also received the Distinguished Service Award from the Realtors Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh, an organization in which is a past president. According to the association, he “has been an outspoken critic of the current property tax system in Allegheny County. He has worked alongside RAMP leadership to address the inequities in the system.”
“Years ago, Mike called for full transparency by fighting to have the county property tax website published,” the RAMP website states. “This gave residents the opportunity to compare their tax assessments against those of similar nearby properties.”
