Cobb GOP Chair Alters South Carolina Tax Status Amid Residency Controversy
Cobb County, GA – April 7, 2025 — GOP Accountability has confirmed that Mary Clarice Hathaway, Chair of the Cobb County Republican Party, contacted the Pickens County, South Carolina Tax Assessor’s Office last week to remove a legal residence tax exemption from her South Carolina home.
The timing—just days after public documents raised questions about Hathaway’s dual residency—suggests this move was a direct response to mounting scrutiny over her eligibility to serve as Chair under Georgia law and party rules, which require county party officers to be legal residents of the county they represent.
The removal of the South Carolina tax exemption demonstrates that Mary Clarice Hathaway previously claimed legal residency outside Georgia. This action does not retroactively establish her eligibility at the time of her election as Chair of the Cobb County Republican Party on March 22, 2025. Under Georgia law and party rules, individuals must be legal residents of the county they represent. At the time of her election, Hathaway’s South Carolina residency status would have rendered her ineligible—raising serious concerns about the validity of the election and the integrity of the process.
“The Republican party in Cobb County, the State of Georgia, and the nation are perfectly clear. If the information regarding the removal of the property exemption is true, I think it would be appropriate for Mary to do the right thing.” said a spokesperson for GOP Accountability.
The public deserves answers. The integrity of party elections depends on adherence to both the letter and spirit of the law.
