You also asked about property taxes, and I have not seen anyone address this issue:
Yes, even after the recent increase, Sumter County has the lowest county property taxes in the Villages.
However, there is something else to watch for if this is important to you. Parts of Sumter County are in the Village of Wildwood, or Lady Lake, or (?) other incorporated areas. You will pay property tax to Wildwood on top of your tax to Sumter. There are many areas that are in unincorporated Sumter County. No town tax. That can save you $800 -1200 annually.
