How property tax assessments create winners and losers

Boxes full of items suggesting Black ownership, removed from Shirley Salmon-Davis' East Liberty house, are the centerpiece of an installation art exhibit by Harrison Kinnane Smith at the Mattress Factory in Central Northside. The house was appraised twice — once with a Black person presenting as the owner, and with the African American-themed items, and once with a white person and without the items. The difference was $36,000. (Photo by Ryan Loew/PublicSource)
