I am not sure which county you are in but my property taxes (Sumter) have gone down for the last 3 years. Not a lot but they have gone down. Basically, the county has a budget and an inventory of property values. The millage rate is set to generate the required budget when applied to the inventory of property values. The millage rate has been rolled back for the last 4 years - don't know the history before then.
