OOOOOOPPPPS....... She is going to lose her HOMESTEAD status in one state or the other, and I believe they can make her pay back any property tax advantages attached to same.
I don’t think she is the only person doing this.
Perhaps this situation will open a can of worms that the Rats didn't want opened....
From the story:
She claimed a homestead exemption on the Florida property in 2003 – the same time she was claiming a homestead exemption on property she owned in Indiana, according to Tippecanoe deputy auditor Heather Satler. Satler said that Ewing’s Indiana exemption began in 1994 and ended in 2004, when the exemption was removed because the state discovered she wasn¹t living there. [Gond: but note, it doesn't mention any penalties]Passive voice...sounds like she's either a scientist, bureaucrat, politician, or crook.
Tuesday Ewing said the homestead “problem came up” when she married in 2002. “But that was taken care of,” she said. [Gond: I think “taken care of” translates to something involving “committing fraud to falsely claim residency”...note that she made this claim even after 2002, until caught in 2004] She also said her main residence is in Indiana, and that she pays “some” taxes in Indiana on a “small annuity” she receives.
