Learn About Manchester Reassessment At Town Meetings

MANCHESTER, NJ — Manchester Township officials are hosting a round of meetings throughout the township to explain the property reassessment underway in the township.

The reassessment was announced in the fall of 2023, and comes because the town's property values have fallen to 64.93 percent of the market value, township tax assessor Martin Lynch said.

Manchester last underwent a township-wide property value reassessment in 2020.

Lynch said the township is beginning the process now because it will reduce the impact that updated values will have, particularly for those residents whose homes go up significantly in value.

After a reassessment, the township's property tax levy shares are rebalanced, with one-third of property owners seeing an increase in their taxes, one-third seeing a decrease and the remaining third seeing no change.
