Item 8.01.
Other Events.
 
Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (the “Company”) today filed an action in the United States District Court in Atlanta, Georgia against U.S. Bank National Association, the trustee under the indentures governing the Company’s outstanding senior notes. A copy of the complaint is attached hereto as exhibit 99.1. As previously disclosed in the Company’s August 15, 2007 Form 8-K Current Report, the Company has not yet filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007 as the result of a continuing independent internal investigation by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company is seeking, among other relief, a declaration from the court against the trustee that this filing delay does not constitute a default under the applicable indentures and that the delay will not give rise to any right of acceleration on the part of the holders of the senior notes. The Company has not received a notice of default under any of the indentures.

The Company’s Audit Committee and its independent counsel are working expeditiously to complete the internal investigation as soon as practicable. For a further explanation of the investigation and related matters, please refer to the Company’s August 15, 2007 Form 8-K Current Report.

These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, and it is possible that the results described in this Form 8-K will not be achieved.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things, the timing and final outcome of the action filed today in the United States District Court in Atlanta, Georgia against U.S. Bank National Association, the trustee under the indentures governing the Company’s outstanding senior notes; and the timing, final outcome and consequences of the pending SEC investigation, independent internal investigation and putative class action lawsuits, derivative claims and similar proceedings.
