Showing Original Post only (View all)Sen. Kelly Loeffler's property tax plunged after mansion's value mysteriously dropped [View all]
The value of Sen. Kelly Loefflers lavish Atlanta mansion mysteriously plunged four years ago, resulting in a dramatically lower property tax bill.
The Georgia Republican bought the 15,000-square-foot mansion in 2009 with her husband Jeffrey Sprecher for $10.5 million, then the most expensive home purchase in the citys history, but the value suddenly dropped to $4.15 million in 2016, reported The Daily Beast.
You know somethings wrong there, if there was just a singular discount, said R.J. Morris, a former member of the Fulton County Board of Assessors who reviewed the tax documents with the couples names redacted.

Even more curiously, seven of their eight closest neighbors saw their property values rise, according to records kept by Fulton County, where officials were unable to offer an explanation for the discrepancy.
