PCMC Exclusive: McKnight officially reclaims her PG County home as her principal residence

In early July 2023, we reported that government records showed that Superintendent McKnight was still claiming her Prince George's County home as her principal residence even though she was contractually required to relocate to Montgomery County by June 30, 2023.

On August 15, 2023, the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) changed the status of McKnight's PG County home to "Principal Residence: No" after our story was shared with SDAT officials.

SDAT officials have now revealed that McKnight contacted them on August 30, 2023, claiming that her PG County home was still her principal residence.  At her request, SDAT changed the principal residence status back to "YES."

In early July 2023, McKnight's PG County home appeared in the Realtor MLS as "for rent".  A few days later, the status changed to "Rented".  

As of today, October 17, 2023, the "rented" status has been removed from the MLS.

State officials also confirmed that McKnight is using her PG County address on her driver's license.  It's not clear whether she had ever changed her address on her driver's license to her Montgomery County address (if, indeed, she really ever had a Montgomery County address) as required by state law.
