Under the above assumptions, your numbers make no sense. Your example regarding my bill for the year 2018 vs 2011 of $900 less is wrong by a factor of 9. The real number is $103 less. Using 2011 as a baseline, the years since have been as much as $173 less and $112 higher. Current year is $3 less.

My situation has been constant, no resale, no bond, homestead constant, no construction. So, what you see is a rather stable situation, which is likely for all similar residences. Dollar variance from baseline would vary dependent upon assessed value.

Nothing complicated here. Sumter county taxes for the stated period have been relatively constant. Not saying that will continue. Also, not claiming that taxes are effectively used or not considering all the new tax revenue from new construction.
I should have stopped when I said my home had too many changes to see any trend.
