Homestead gets removed for the first year and Homestead is not the only exemption there is in this state. Buying, you don't see the cap on the tax bill. All you see is taxable value and the mill rate. Most outsiders think they will pay the same tax.

Ask members of TOTV who have bought a 3-5 year old resale coming from out of state - where they surprised when they got the new tax bill? Bet you they all were.
