    Default Marjorie Taylor Greene may have violated Georgia tax exemption law

    Georgia law only allows individuals to obtain the exemption for their primary residence, but Greene has homestead exemptions for houses in both Fulton and Floyd counties, according to a Friday report from Channel 2 Action News.


    "You get a tax break for your permanent residence. But you don’t get to do that in two places. That’s against the law," William Perry, founder of the nonprofit group Georgia Ethics Watchdogs, told the outlet.

    In a Floyd County exemption application, Greene's husband reportedly left blank the portion that asked whether they had another active homestead exemption or any other property.

    "The property owners filed for homestead exemption in Fulton County in May of 2019 and it became effective for the 2020 tax year," the Fulton County board of assessors said in a statement. "Per GA law, you can only have one homestead exemption. In this case, Fulton County will consult with Floyd County to confirm and determine in which county the exemption is not valid."

    While she could take a hit for that, I doubt she'll go to prison like Trump is facing in New York.

    She’ll probably just have to pay the taxes, plus interest and penalties.

    Agreed.

    OTOH, being a tax cheat, it's probable cause to look deeper into her activities.

    Taylor Green has two houses. One where she lives, and one where she pretends to live so she can be elected by poor rural people. She does not want to live with those poor rural people, because she hates her supporters.
