Highlights

The Department of Agriculture requested a decision concerning a transferred employee's entitlement to reimbursement for a property tax increase resulting from the loss of the homestead exemption on his old residence. GAO held that, since the property taxes were not incurred as part of or necessary to the real estate transaction itself, they were not reimbursable as miscellaneous real estate expenses. Accordingly, the claim was denied.
