The taxes have been beaten to death and it was not a 25% increase in anyone's tax bill and most certainly not for all Villagers. But - that doesn't make for a good story so let's embellish until the uninformed get fired up about something they know nothing about.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Please be accurate and honest. Sumter County taxes most certainly did go up by 25% from the 2018 to 2019 bills (they were down maybe 4% in the 2020 bill). Sumter County taxes are not the only thing on the bill in November, it also includes School Taxes, Fire District assessments, road maintenance fees, and the bond (if any). Those things did not go up 25% so the bottom line did not go up 25% but the Sumter County taxes portion of the bill absolutely did increase by 25%.
