A 25% increase in property taxes is highly unusual in itself, but a 25% increase in a county whose tax base is growing at one of the fastest rates in the country is truly unbelievable. According to Wikipedia, there were 2,134 new homes sold in The Villages in 2018. Any other county in the USA would love to have Sumter County's fiscal issues.
