Board of Assessment Appeals

The Manchester Board of Assessment Appeals is an appointed body empowered by State Statute to hear and decide appeals of property assessments.

The Board meets annually during the month of March to hear appeals of real estate, personal property, and motor vehicles on the supplemental list (vehicles billed in January.) Application must be made by February 20 for a hearing during the Board's March sessions.

The Board also meets during the month of September to hear appeals only of motor vehicles billed the preceding July. 

To file an appeal for the current Board of Appeals session, you may file online below (during available appeal periods), upload and print the PDF, or pick up a form in our office. Complete all required fields of the form (you may be denied a hearing if incomplete) and be sure it is RECEIVED in the Assessor's office on or before February 20, for the March session. 

Forms will be available here or in our office at the beginning of January and due by February 20 for the next appeal session, for the October 1, 2024 Grand List values.

 

 

 

Please email completed PDF appeal applications to assessor@manchesterct.gov.  You will get an acknowledgement of receipt. This is the preferred method of submitting your appeal. (Faxes are no longer accepted.)

If you prefer, you may drop off your appeal application in person at our office in Town Hall (please note our new hours as of August 5, 2024) or in the drop box behind Town Hall.

You may also mail it to Town Hall 41 Center Street, Manchester, CT 06040, Attention: Assessor's Office, however, we recommend one of the other more reliable options whenever possible.
