Default Impact fees
We recently moved from Lee County, because the Commissioners lowered the impact fees, which caused our taxes to go up. Impact fees are collected on new homebuyers for the added needs of the county, such as roads, schools, parks, jails, ambulances and other infrastructure.

I haven't looked into it yet, but was wondering if Sumter county collects 100% of these fees, otherwise we all pay for the new arrivals demands on our infrastructure.
