The Census and Seasonal Home Owners
/
The good folks at the East Shore Schroon Lake Association sent an email blast to its members reminding them that seasonal and second home owners need to complete a census form for every property they own.
Here is what you need to do:
For each property you own but use only part of the time, please follow these instructions:
1. Visit www.my2020census.gov.
2. Enter the Census ID or address for your secondary property.
3. Enter “0” for the number of people living at this property.
4. Hit Next, and when a “soft error” occurs, click Next again.
5. Select “No” when asked to confirm no person lives at this property.
6. Select primary reason – for example, "Seasonal."
7. Complete!
And we are hearing from Joe Steiniger that Schroon Lakers in Essex County need to be counted.
“As of last week (8/26), only 40% of Essex County residents and only 24% (!!!!) of Town of Schroon residents had responded to the census! It is urgently important for our area residents to be accurately counted for our community to receive its proper amount of federal benefits (and Congressional representation). If you are not SURE you have responded, please click on the link in the post and BE COUNTED! Please forward this to anyone you think might not have responded to a census questionnaire. Time is running out!
For more information, please go to 2020census.gov.
