Matt Brown of 'Alaskan Bush People' Faces Legal Action Over Unpaid Taxes in Washington State.
SEATTLE, WA — In a development concerning the Brown family's legal matters, Matt Brown, a former star of the Discovery Channel reality series "Alaskan Bush People," is facing a formal legal action from state authorities in Washington. According to court documents filed on March 26, 2025, the Washington State Department of Revenue has initiated a default judgment against Matthew B. Brown for an alleged failure to pay state taxes. The claim involves a total sum of approximately $14,200 in unpaid taxes and accrued penalties. This action stems from a period when Brown was reportedly residing in the Pacific Northwest following his departure from the family compound. A representative for the state confirmed that a legal notice was served, and no response was received, prompting the default request. Matthew Brown has not publicly commented on the matter as of this report.
