When people from outside the state look to buy a house and see the total RE tax on a property is, let's say, $1234 per year but when the house is sold to them, they discover that the cap and the exemption(s) come off and the new tax is $2345. Boy, are they surprised! And you know the Property of the Villages don't tell you that on resales.

In Marion County the Amendment 1 savings will be exactly $179.15 per year and in Sumter County it will be exactly $151.40 per year. Pretty big deal, heh?
