Thanks....
When I rented, I wanted to make sure that it was legitimate. I called the Sumter County Appraiser's office and they confirmed that the person I was writing the check to was the owner of the property.

You can also check it out yourself.

Appraiser website.

Just a moment...

Tax website.

Just a moment...

If there is a discrepancy, I would do some more research.
