PRLog - Global Press Release Distribution Chesson: Homestead Exemption was an Error, Not a ‘Fraud’ Source: Christian D. Chesson Campaign Dated: Oct. 13, 2014 LAKE CHARLES, La. -- Allegations of fraud are a result of an error on the part of the Cameron Parish Assessor’s Office, not an effort to dodge taxes, Calcasieu Parish D.A. candidate Christian Chesson said today. In recent days, commenters on Facebook and elsewhere have made allegations that Chesson committed “tax fraud” by claiming a homestead exemption at a property in Cameron Parish while living for years in Calcasieu Parish. “When I changed my legal domicile and voter registration to Calcasieu Parish more than three years ago, I notified the Assessor’s Office in Cameron Parish,” Chesson said. “I was honestly unaware that they had not removed the homestead exemption from that property, which I have not occupied since 2011. Like most homeowners, my mortgage company pays my property taxes from an escrow account and I haven’t monitored the amount. I also have several real estate investments – most of them commercial – and pay my taxes, all of which is also a public record. The home in which I have resided with my family in recent years is owned by my father, who lives in a property I own in Texas; neither of us claims a homestead exemption on those properties. “Honestly, if my opponent is concerned about taxes and who is paying them, he might try to offer a reasonable explanation for his blatant use of taxpayer money for political purposes in recent months,” Chesson said. “His violations of the law are blatant, as they are plastered on billboards throughout our parish and online, and that’s a far bigger concern to the voters than a clerical error in the Assessor’s Office in another parish.” --- End --- Email Click to contact author Phone 504-458-4600 City/Town Lake Charles State/Province Louisiana Country United States Industry Government, Legal Tags john derosier, district attorney, christian chesson, calcasieu, elections Link http://prlog.org/12382633 Scan this QR Code with your SmartPhone to- * Read this news online * Contact author * Bookmark or share online Page 1/1
50/50 Thursdays Coca Cola Restaurant Guide Home of the Week Weddings Clear Jennings 43° FULL FORECAST Search D.A. candidate Chesson explains homestead exemption discrepancies Posted: Oct 28, 2014 7:41 PM CDT Updated: Oct 27, 2015 8:06 PM CDT By Theresa Schmidt CONNECT According to records with the Cameron Parish tax assessor, Calcasieu D.A. candidate Christian Chesson still has a homestead exemption there--even though Chesson admits he hasn't lived in Cameron parish since 2011. Homeowners in Louisiana love the homestead exemption because it saves money on their property tax bills. But taxpayers are only allowed one homestead exemption and it must be on the home in which they live. Marrero woman wins half-million ... The exemption Chesson has in Cameron Parish saves him about a thousand dollars a year on his Cameron Parish property taxes. Palestine The Cameron Parish tax assessor native says Adrian she plans to send Chesson a certified letter notifying him she plans to pull Peterson the homestead ... exemption on his property at 124 Beach Boulevard at Johnson Bayou in Cameron Parish. It's an exemption that has saved him around $2000 over the last two years. Louisiana's homestead exemption basically exempts homeowners from paying certain property taxes on the first $75,000 dollars of the value of their home. But it must be the home in which they live. According to Chesson's own news release he has not lived in Cameron Parish since 2011. When he officially signed up to run for Calcasieu District Attorney the address Chesson gave was 27 Carriage Lane in Lake Charles. His father, Lilton Chesson, has a homestead exemption on that property. According to Chesson his father lives in Texas. The Calcasieu Tax assessor is investigating whether Lilton Chesson should lose the exemption on Carriage Lane since he does not live there. Chesson also used 27 Carriage Lane when he registered to vote in Calcasieu in 2011, even though the application says "must be address where you claim homestead exemption." Because of the homestead exemption in Cameron, Chesson has saved $1045.65 in 2012 and $950.92 in 2013. He would also save $950 in 2014 except that the Cameron tax assessor expects his exemption to be pulled. In a news release, Chesson says, "When I changed my legal domicile and voter registration to Calcasieu Parish more than three years ago, I notified the assessors office in Cameron parish." Chesson goes on saying, "I was honestly unaware they had not removed the homestead exemption from the property, which I have not occupied since 2011." However Cameron Tax Assessor Mona Kelley disputes any error on their part saying they have no record of any notice from Chesson. Kelley says they require written documentation to pull a homestead exemption. A spokesman for Chesson says he admits he owes taxes for the years he was not entitled to the exemption and will pay them once he receives a bill. Chesson was not available for an on camera interview but just today his campaign spokesman James Hartman reiterated. "The exemption in Cameron Parish was an error, not an attempt by Mr. Chesson to
