Not to mention a yearly energy bill that was $2,475 here and $6,875 in NY, and the 6-7% NYS income tax. So I'm $40K+ ahead of the game just on those 3 items,
Sumter County can have their tax increase as far as I'm concerned.

I agree with you based on what we were paying for property tax in Chicago.
And for those that say we shouldn’t compare to what we paid “Up North”, ponder this:
The current property tax millage rate of 6.7 in Sumter County (including the recent increase) is 67% of the millage rate Sumter County residents were paying 20 years ago! Yes, the millage rate was 10.0 in the years 1999 and 2000.
