Does anyone know if there is there a specific reason for this large of an increase in a one year period of time?
More specifically, I should have indicated that my local school tax (Sumter County Schools) went up 20%. The 20% tax increase is from two increases:
My Taxable Value went up 1%
My Tax Rate increase 20%
