Default Taxes to Leesburg and Wildwood

This is a serious question on the confluence of taxes here. If I remember correctly, a taxing municipality must render basic services to its citizens. In the case of those living in St. Catherine and Citrus Grove (I’m sure there are others), taxes are paid to two separate municipalities with no choices.

We pay taxes on our utilities to Leesburg on the utilities (about 18 percent) on a little over a 100 dollar electric gas bill.

We pay Wildwood an annual tax of around 1400 (guesstimate).

Our fire fee of a 127 dollars is paid to Sumter Co.

Can two different municipalities legally force tax the same residential property?
