The Sumter County property tax rate has gone DOWN each of the last 6 years.

The current proposed property tax rate represents ONLY a 5.5% increase of the rate we were paying in 2012!

How can anyone possibly complain about this??

And I’m sure the proposed tax rate will go down somewhat by the time it’s approved in September.

Common sense says to be satisfied with what we’ve had and have here in Sumter County.
