The same price of a home in Sumter County excluding the bond would be $2625. Each has a slight difference on fire, solid waste, but suffice it to say it is ALMOST double the cost in taxes.

Lake County new houses are cheaper than Sumter County new houses so as to offset the property tax difference. Two Villages sales reps have confirmed this to me. 8 years is the break even point.
