Assemblyman Avi Schnall is encouraging eligible New Jersey residents to attend a series of PAS-1 and ANCHOR Application Filing Assistance Events, where staff will provide free, in-person help with applying for the state’s property tax relief programs.

The first event will be held on Wednesday, July 15, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at The Square, 313 3rd Street, Lakewood. This event will focus exclusively on PAS-1 applications.

Two additional assistance events are scheduled for Wednesday, October 14:

• 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at The Square, 313 3rd Street, Lakewood

Both October events will offer assistance with PAS-1 and ANCHOR applications.

The PAS-1 program is available to homeowners and renters who are 65 or older or who receive Social Security Disability benefits. The ANCHOR program is available to eligible New Jersey homeowners and renters. Applications will be processed for those who meet the state’s eligibility requirements.
