A Pennsylvania city faces a 24 percent tax-exempt share of property, limiting revenue. In 1961 Corry had 16 percent exempt, with assessed value rising from 22.3 million to 31.1 million by today. Churches, municipal buildings, state and federal properties, and utilities are major exemptions under scrutiny. The Pennsylvania League of Cities signals broader efforts to tax more properties, amid rising municipal costs.
