Just got a letter in the mail from SC Tax folks saying they're proposing an almost tripling of that assessment on this property from my current $125 to $360 for 2021/22. Public hearing on 4/13 at Everglades RC. Does it vary by property valuation? Actually it says: "only the maximum fire protection assessment" whatever that means will be affected.
Is it because the phone at the Fire Department rings everytime someone in The Villages calls because they overcooked a hot dog?
