Rep. Adam Schiff , who is currently in a heated primary fight for a California Senate seat, has claimed his primary residence was in Maryland for more than a decade.
According to mortgage records reviewed by CNN, at the same time, he claimed the 3,420 square foot home in Maryland as his primary residence; he also claimed a 650 square foot condo he owns in Burbank, California, as his primary residence, according to CNN.On his California residence, he received a $7,000 reduction off the 1% property tax, amounting to roughly $70 in annual savings, but he did not take an exemption on his Maryland residence.
Schiff designated his Maryland home as his primary residence in 2003, according to CNN. And in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, he refinanced the mortgage and indicated it was his primary residence.“Adam’s primary residence is Burbank, California, and will remain so when he wins the Senate seat,” Marisol Samayoa, a spokeswoman for Schiff’s campaign, told CNN.
However, the deed for Schiff’s Burbank condo was notarized in Maryland, and the address listed for where the records are to be returned to his Maryland address. CNN also found that tax records indicate that he paid his California property taxes in 2017 with a check featuring his Maryland address.
