Low, high or somewhere in between, the increase and no doubt much of the existing taxes lay much of the costs of development on the backs of Sumter County taxpayers which puts money in the developers pockets at the expense of all taxpayers.
Comparing Sumter County taxes to those in Miami, Palm Beach, Orlando and Tampa or notoriously high tax states such as NY, NJ, MA, MD, CA and the like and saying they are lower here than they are there is silly.

I don't think that it is silly at all. Home costs, taxes, fees, utility costs all important comparisons That play a part in choosing where to live.
