Board of Assessment Appeals
Why have I received an updated Personal Property assessment?
Due to the passage of House Bill 7067, Public Act 25-2 (pgs 5-9) in March 2025, you may have received an updated notice for your Personal Property Assessment if you had any motor vehicles declared as Personal Property on your declaration filed in 2024.
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.
** Per CT House Bill 7067 motor vehicle assessment values, as of the 2024 Grand List, are based on original MSRP. The only acceptable grounds for an appeal is proof that the Assessor DID NOT base the assessment on the vehicle’s MSRP. Mileage, wear and condition cannot be reviewed. **
Forms are available below or in our office and due by August 22, 2025 for the September appeal session, (the October 1, 2024 Grand List values of motor vehicle only).
