Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.


On May 1, 2007, Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (“Beazer Homes”) received notice that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is conducting an informal inquiry to determine whether any person or entity related to Beazer Homes has violated federal securities laws. Beazer Homes intends to cooperate fully with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s inquiry.

On April 30, 2007, Beazer Homes also received notice that a putative class action complaint was filed on April 30, 2007 on behalf of a purported class consisting of present and former participants and beneficiaries of the Beazer Homes 401(K) Plan naming Beazer Homes, certain of its current and former officers and directors and the Benefits Administration Committee as defendants. The complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division. The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duties, including those set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) as a result of the investment of retirement monies held by the 401(K) Plan in common stock of Beazer Homes at a time when participants were allegedly not provided timely, accurate and complete information concerning Beazer Homes. At this time, Beazer Homes has found no evidence to support the allegations and intends to vigorously defend this action.  Beazer Homes does not intend to file further Current Reports on Form 8-K describing additional similar actions or matters, if any, which are based on allegations substantially similar to those described herein.
