Or, am I missing something?

Don Wiley is the expert on this, I am not. However, I interpreted his statements to mean that residents of TV in Sumter County will pay for the VSPD and not the rest of the county, and the residents of the non-Villages part of Sumter County will pay for their part. His numbers showed the costs to be about the same, about 25% coming from the per parcel assessment and the rest out of the general budget. When split off, all of the 18-19 million costs for the VSPD will come from the "fee", so that part will go up---someone calculated from $124 to $516. That increase should be offset by a reduction in county tax, since they will no longer be paying that 18-19 million. Of course, you will still pay general county taxes, and therefore your total tax bill will be dependent upon the county doing the "right thing"
