Allegheny County has so far ignored a court order to start a four-tiered process of reassessing all 575,000 properties in the county, Common Pleas Judge R. Stanton Wettick Jr., said this afternoon.

"This is not acceptable," Judge Wettick said of the plan that county officials submitted to him instead of implementing his order to conduct a reassessment of property based on a four-year timeline starting in October.

Last month, Judge Wettick ordered the county to divide property into four segments and assess a new segment each year with a goal of finishing a full assessment and implementing it by 2014.

But during a meeting to determine how the county is preparing to implement that order, county officials presented a three-page plan that wholly ignored Judge Wettick's order. Instead, county Solicitor Mike Wojcik presented a plan to conduct a reassessment that would be completed and certified in January 2013.

Donald Driscoll of the Community Justice Project, who represented one of the two sets of clients that sued the county over its assessment system, objected immediately.

"This is not what you ordered and it is not adequate," Mr.Dirscoll said.

Judge Wettick agreed and ordered the county to return to his courtroom on Friday morning with a plan to implement his order.
