So the info you originally received from the sales agent may be correct. You should ask for a detailed breakdown for the taxes, bonds, etc., so you get a reliable number. IMHO, if this is a major concern, then be sure you get a listing of all over the other typical monthly costs, water, electricity, trash, Amenity fees, etc.

Correct. The new areas are in Sumter County and in the city of Wildwood, thus, I believe it's an extra $300 per $100K added to the tax bill. On the Sumter County tax site is a tax estimator tab that can give more accurate information for. The bonds vary from neighborhood to neighborhood, as in all areas. Mine is in the newer area and my bond is $15K something. I recall looking in Lake Deaton/Osceola Hills areas three years ago and bonds were well over 30K in various sections.
