We can only imagine how much lower it could’ve been had not the impact fees increase that the commissioners voted in went through.if it wasn’t for the developers politically connected politicians that nix it our taxes this year would have been much lower.
Just saying😊

A naive and simplistic view at best. More development leads to more impact fees, so who pays them??? The ridiculous view is that "the developer" should pay them. They will NEVER pay them, they would simply be passed on in the cost of a new home. So the real issue is: Should just new homebuyers in TV bear the cost of impact fees, or Sumter County taxpayers in general?
If you live in Sumter Co. outside TV, of course you would want the cost to be paid by new home sales in TV-----even though they reap the benefit of improved infrastructure, more jobs, more retail and restaurant opportunities, etc.
If you live in a newly developed are of TV, of course you want the general public to bear the cost
If you already live in TV in an existing home, it doesn't really impact you much
And remember, all that new commercial space contributes to the tax base.
