Angela Alsobrooks Unlawfully Claims Tax Deductions

I'm assuming that an extended family member was living in the home after the grandparents passed, so Alsobrooks probably didn't even receive any tax notices. This really is a nothing burger.

In terms of her PG County home, she's actually been overpaying her taxes because she didn't make her more expensive current house her "homestead." She's been getting the homestead benefit on a crappy townhouse.

My coworker lives two homes down from her “crappy” townhouse. It’s a very nice neighborhood, with equestrian facilities in the community. If it was in MoCo it would be 1.5M. For a townhouse.

The "equestrian facility" home is her current, more expensive house (Redfin value $750K). That's the one where she is NOT taking the homestead, thus overpaying her property taxes. The homestead is still attached to the previous PG County townhouse in Bowie valued at only $400K. Thus, she is overpaying PG County property taxes.

And no one cares what it would cost "if it was in MoCo." It's in PG.

If my house was located on a beach in Maui, it would be worth $10m. But it’s not so that’s not relevant.

Why did OP start this thread then?

This "issue" sounds like a nothingburger.

What were Trump’s qualifications to be POTUS?

What is wrong with a Harris | Hogan ballot???

People who are disconnected from state politics don't understand. Hogan is no an anti Trump. He may say he is but he is actually the "lipstick on a pig" version of Trump. I will give Hogan that he is against J6 and that makes him meet a very low standard of acceptability. But he is anti immigrant and quietly stokes hatred against immigrants just like the GOP (e.g. falsely claiming a school was not cooperating with police in regards to an alleged rape by undocumented students - school got death threats). He redirected state funding from mass transit in Baltimore to roads projects near his properties. He refused to send more covid vaccines to Montgomery County where there was demand for them. He spent millions on Covid tests from Korea that couldn't be used - without following basic rules for public spending (they had no written contract, no procurement process, no checking to see if they met fda requirements). Under his watch the GDP of Maryland did not grow one little bit (but his business made money).

His wife is from Korea so it's definitely strange he doesn't like immigrants unless he marries them. Also strange he ordered those test kits from Korea of all places, especially since his wife is from there...

No idea why their county got downgraded credit-wise recently though

Have you also seen Russia from your window? LOL!

You "drive through" PG? What an expert you are. LOL!

Thank you as I needed a good laugh.

Alsobrooks illegally took advantage of, among other things, tax breaks for "lower income residents and senior citizens".

Really?

Trump pays no taxes. Makes no difference time as she has my vote.

You Democrats really are obsessed with Trump, aren’t you?

My favorite was when she tried to equivocate Hogan not selling his house while he was governor. That’s just sad.

I’m not a Democrat, but explain to me this bullsh*t claim of “obsession” from MAGA? He is one of the people running to become president of the United States. Why do you act like he’s some nonentity with no relation to elections or anyone else running? We are allowed to compare the actions of people running for office.

What actually makes no sense And can be categorized as an obsession, is the MAGA obsession with Hunter Biden. I loathe Joe Biden, but you are the ones who keep bringing up someone who has never run for office.

I look forward to voting for her!

I had no idea Prince George's was larger than five states. Wow. She does have a lot of experience.

Well, CNN wrote a breathless article about how she skirted $14K in DC property taxes on a property she sold 6 years ago by not removing the senior homestead designation after she inherited the property from her grandparents. But it's pretty clear she wasn't even aware that she owed the taxes.

So who knows. But the Hogan campaign *cough* I mean, CNN, definitely dedicated a lot of time to tracking down her historical property tax records from both DC and MD to note the discrepancy.

She needs to correct it, but I'm still not voting for Hogan and the Republicans.

Homestead credit is for a capped percentage of the phased in tax appraisal increase. If her 2nd townhome hasn't seen significant increases in appraised value, and her 1st home did, she might be getting a larger credit on the 2nd home.

"Instead, it is actually a credit calculated on any assessment increase exceeding 10% (or the lower cap enacted by the local governments) from one year to the next." https://dat.maryland.gov/realproperty/Pages/Maryland-Homestead-Tax-Credit.aspx

The schools in PG are horrible, I support Hogan

Oh please, it’s a mistake. I’ve done something similar.

I’m not voting for her but that is not the reason.
