Deadline and where to file
Manville values are set by the local municipal tax assessor. Your petition must be received (not just postmarked) by the county board of taxation by April 1, or 45 days after the town finishes bulk mailing assessment notices, whichever is later. If the town did a municipal-wide revaluation or reassessment, the deadline is May 1. Burlington, Gloucester and Monmouth counties use January 15 (or 45 days after notices, whichever is later).
Reading this in fall 2026? The 2026 deadlines have passed. If you live in Burlington, Gloucester or Monmouth County, the next deadline is January 15, 2027 (or 45 days after your town's notices, if later), so it is close. Everywhere else, the next deadline is April 1, 2027, or 45 days after your 2027 notice, whichever is later. If your town did a revaluation or reassessment, it is May 1, 2027. Check your notice, because the exact date depends on when the town mailed it.
The Somerset County guide covers the full New Jersey appeal process: forms, fees, hearing levels and what happens next.
Building a Manville case
Averages explain why a case might work. The decision turns on evidence about one property. Manville is part of the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro, but your evidence should be local. Sales a few streets away usually beat sales across the metro.
- Look up your town's average ratio and common level range, then compare your assessment to your home's market value to see if you fall outside the range.
