Property Reassessment

The Town of Manchester has contracted with Tyler Technologies to conduct a reassessment project, updating the assessed values for all real property in the Town. The reassessment is mandated by the State of Connecticut, which requires that all cities and towns revalue property every five years. The effective date of the previous reassessment was October 1, 2021, and this project will value all real property as of October 1, 2026.

The purpose of conducting the reassessment is to maintain fairness and equity in local property taxation. Real estate markets change over time, and these changes can lead to tax inequities if assessed values are not updated regularly. Although the reassessment may result in changes to the property tax of individual property owners, this process is revenue-neutral and unrelated to the overall amount of property tax levied by the Town of Manchester.

The reassessment project includes a process of data collection for some properties in the town, including ones that have recently sold or that have recent building permits. A Tyler Technologies data collector may visit your property. During this visit, the data collector may ask questions about your property, request a walk-through of the interior, and measure the exterior. All data collectors will carry proper identification. Most properties in the Town will not be visited by a data collector during this project.

For more information, please download our frequently asked questions document and check back for updates as the project progresses. Key dates as well as pictures of the data collectors will be uploaded to this website. If you have any doubt if a data collector is in your area, please feel free to call the Town Assessor’s Office at 860.647.3016.
