Investigation: Marjorie Taylor Greene filed homestead exemptions on 2 homes, violating state law




ATLANTA — A Channel 2 Action Newsinvestigation has found that Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her husband have two active homestead exemptions, which is against Georgia law.

A homestead exemption is a big tax break any Georgia homeowner is entitled to for their primary residence. It is against the law to file for more than one.

But Channel 2 investigative reporter Justin Gray pulled records showing that the Greenes are getting the tax break on two different homes in two different counties.


In a statement, Greene’s office told Gray to mind his own business and called it a “pathetic smear” when he asked them about the homestead exemptions.

Greene still owns a North Fulton county home, but also bought a $610,000 house in Floyd County last year in the 14th Congressional district, which she represents.

A member of Congress does not have to live in the district they represent. But what you legally cannot do, is file multiple homestead exemptions.


William Perry is the founder of the nonprofit Georgia Ethics Watchdogs.

“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,” Perry said.

Through open records requests, Channel 2 Action News pulled the Greenes’ homestead exemption applications in both Fulton and Floyd counties.

In the Floyd county application, Greene’s husband left blank the line that asked if they had another active exemption on any property.

But Fulton County tax officials confirm to Gray, that Greene never stopped getting the tax break on the Fulton property.

The Fulton County Board of Assessors said in a statement:

“The property owners filed for homestead exemption in Fulton County in May of 2019 and it became effective for the 2020 tax year. 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.”

Channel 2 Action News contacted Greene, who said in a statement:

“Georgians care about their livelihoods and their family’s safety. Yet WSB is focused on paperwork, which is being taken care of. I’m a proud resident of the 14th district. Justin Gray needs to mind his own business instead of launching yet another pathetic attempt to smear me and my family.”

But it’s more than a paperwork issue, it’s against Georgia law.

The penalty for filing a false homestead exemption according to Georgia code is twice your tax bill. For the Greenes, according to their 2020 bill, that could be nearly $12,000.

“This isn’t a paperwork issue, this is fraud. You can’t accidently declare homestead exemption in two different counties,” Perry said.

I’m trying to figure something out...I got a coworker who went to BTW & she said the Doug-Washington game was always huge, but I always thought Doug-Mays was the main big rivalry in APS.

my dad use to take me to all the Doug-Mays games at Lakewood & them shyts would be packed like college games.

Any APS brehs know which game was bigger?

I’m a Clay co schools grad our big game was always Riverdale-North Clayton & I know about SWD-Stephenson on the eastside.


Biggest crowd I’ve ever seen at a HS game was in 2006 I was in my senior year marching for Forest Park, and we were playing BTW on a Saturday. It was their homecoming and they had the game at Herndon Stadium (Morris Brown). The entire home side was packed & half of the visitors side was packed with Washington folks.

them nikkas booed every time we played something :dead: they was ruthless as hell. The Washington old heads was talking so much shyt to us the whole day :russ:

When I was in School Dough vs Washington was the West Side Championship , and a Stephenson/SWD vs Doug/Washington was like the ATL Super Bowl.

Columbia vs Washington brought solid crowds, Mays imo had fell off when it came to football during my HS years, but they had a B Ball squad at some point (they had this short PG who was good as hell).

Eastside as you mentioned SWD vs Stephenson was the Eastside Championship and any Combo of Columbia/McNair/Towers was the Hood breh championship lol
