STUDIO CITY—On October 22, public mortgage reports of Adam Schiff, a Democrat, who is currently serving his 12th term in the House of Representatives representing the state of California, has been caught dually claiming both his home in Potomac, Maryland where he resides, and another house he owns in Burbank, California as his primary residence, and has been for decades.
Schiff is currently challenging Republican, Steve Garvey, California resident and former first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres (1969-1987) for the vacant Senate seat of the late Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Mortgage records indicate that Schiff purchased his home located at 8204 Windsor View Terrace in Potomac, Maryland on May 9, 2003. The most recent Assessor’s estimated value is $1,081,700.00. The current mortgage payment is $610,000.
CNN first reported that Schiff receives a $7,000 reduction, an estimated $70,000 tax break annual savings in property taxes on his condominium in Burbank, California, located in the southeastern end of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County.
Reports indicate that this tax break was only taken for the condo in California, not his Maryland home.

California, District 30, 118th Congress (2023-Present)
