I want to apologize for any confusion the insert in the 2026 Tax Bill might have caused.  To clarify, Jordan Tax Service, Inc. has been appointed the Tax Collector for the City of Duquesne.  You can pay your 2026 City Real Estate Tax in following ways:

1. Send a check to the address on the provided envelope with your Tax Bill.

2. Bring the payment to City Hall during regular business hours.  The payment will be stored in a lock box and be delivered to Jordan Tax on a weekly basis.  You would need to provide a SASE with your payment if you wanted a stamped receipt of your payment.  The City can provide one if necessary.

3. Come to City Hall on April 24, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM or April 28, 2026 from 9:00 AM to Noon to pay directly to Jordan Tax and receive a stamped receipt in person.

Council Meeting Agendas

The City of Duquesne’s Department of Public Works (DPW) priorities snow and ice removal by the priority of the road. The method of clearing the roads varies greatly depending on the weather. For instance, in very cold temperatures salt is ineffective and it would be a waste of resources to spread salt. When it is actively snowing, plowing alone is the best method.

Our DPW operates two to three plow and salt trucks to clear the snow and ice. These trucks are limited by weight restrictions and carry enough salt for approximately one hour’s work before they must be reloaded.

Our priority of roads are as follows:

1. Main roads and the bus routes. Second Street, Grant Avenue, Kennedy Avenue, Crawford Avenue, and the streets that the busses travel.

2. Brick roads and hills.

3. Secondary residential roads.

4. Alleys.

State Route 837 (Duquesne Boulevard) and Commonwealth Avenue are maintained by Penn Dot.

While waiting on the roads to be cleared there are some things that you can do to help:

1. Equip your vehicle with winter tires made for driving in snow.

2. Only drive in the snow if necessary.

3. Park in a way that makes it easier for the plow trucks to get through.

4. Have patience, slow down, and leave early if you must travel in bad weather.

HOME RULE CHARTER INFORMATION

The City of Duquesne is posting information about the possibility of the community moving into a Home Rule Charter. The current council would like to hear feedback from the community on whether we should vote to add the selection of Home Rule Charter to the ballot in Novemeber during the general election.
