A bill that would allow certain home mortgages to be modified by bankruptcy judges has been introduced in the House.

Naturally, the Assessor's office is sensitive to this issue. Because, after all, state law is very clear that they should not be sending out tax bills based on more than the fair market value of a home.

Contracts - Real Estate; When a contract for the sale of a home is breached by the vendee, the basic measure of damages is the market-value differential, i.e., the loss of the bargain stemming from the difference between the contract price and the fair market value of the home at the time of the breach, plus any special damages that the parties could have been reasonably anticipated, such as additional closing costs and brokerage fees; however, special damages normally do not include the costs of maintaining the home until resale, since the extent and duration of such damages are too uncertain and speculative to satisfy the rigorous damage equation required by the law of contract.

The mother of accused Pittsburgh cop-killer Richard Poplawski sued Allegheny County on Wednesday, claiming that a 911 dispatcher's failure to pass along warnings that her son was armed, and the ensuing fatal gunfight and investigation, have made her home uninhabitable and of no value.
In the lawsuit filed in Common Pleas Court, Margaret C. Poplawski seeks money to cover the fair-market value of her Stanton Heights home prior to the April 4, 2009, shooting as well as the cost of living elsewhere since the exchange. County records show the Fairfield Street home she bought in 1999 for $64,500 was assessed last year at $71,700 for tax purposes.
