Comparing Collier to Sumter county is apples and oranges. Not including a comparison of CDD or bond fees which pay for new development costs gives a distorted picture. The $901 impact fee seemed way off which is supported by the data provided by njbchbum in the previous post.
Having said that an increase like what is coming in Sumter is excessive from one year to the next. I am all for digging into the details to see how it was deemed necessary, I hate high taxes.
