The lowest millage rate is in unincorporated Sumter County -- 12.4001. The highest is in Lake County, Pine Hills & Pine Ridge -- 17.9898.
My figure comes from a combination of adding wildwood city tax, that I don’t pay now, and the lower tax I have for my current home of 10 years that has enjoyed lower tax increases due to the limited increase allowed in Sumter county. It is complicated but as explained to me, if I bought my current home at today’s value, my tax would go up by approx 30%. Add that to the wildwood city tax and my annual tax would double.
