Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Tax Disclosure . INCOME TAXESThe Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $7.5 million, compared to $6.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The effective tax rate was 21.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 26.5% in the comparable prior year period. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 relates primarily to the impact of projected noncontrolling interest for the year and a tax benefit from the enactment of the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2019 (“the 2019 Act”). The 2019 Act retroactively reinstated the federal energy efficient homes tax credit that expired on December 31, 2017 to homes closed from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020. In December 2020, Congress approved the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, which extended the federal energy efficient homes tax credit to December 31, 2021.
