Assessed Values and the Tax Roll in Fayette County
What a parcel in Fayette County is taxed on is the business of the Assessment Office, which also keeps the parcel maps. Pennsylvania counties set assessments in a base year and reassess rarely, so assessed values can be decades old; the county publishes a ratio to convert them to market value.
Evictions and Court Cases About Land in Fayette County
An eviction is a court case in the Magisterial District Courts, and so is a foreclosure, a lien dispute or a quiet title suit, in the Fayette County Court of Common Pleas; the court file is public unless sealed.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at courtrecord.net/fayette-county-pa-courts, phone 724-430-1233. That page belongs to a lower court, the Magisterial District Courts, not to the Fayette County Court of Common Pleas.
Asking a County Office for a Record
