Again, for these homeowners, I seriously doubt they will see the same reduction in the Sumter County levy when it is adjusted next year if this boondoggle passes.
I can see the estimate for the new levy on the district website. I thought we still don’t know how much the Sumter tax will be reduced. For my property it is estimated to go up to $380 for the new levy. There will be some reduction in my property taxes to be determined, so I am in favor of making VPSD a separate IFD. Everyone should go to the calculator and see you individual impact and then make a decision.
