To complain about the new tax rate being too high is just silly, especially since the new rate allows the County to promote and participate in tremendous residential and commercial growth that will dramatically increase future tax revenue for both the County and the City of Wildwood. This is Good!
You will find few actual property owners in Sumter county agreeing with this view. Partly because they do not support growth in the first place. There is way too much congestion already.
