This. We live in Pine Hills, which is in Fruitland Park section of Lake County. Not only is Lake County tax significantly higher than Sumter, Fruitland Park adds an additional $1000 to our tax bill. We built here in 2017 because this was the last place to buy a lot north of 44 ( which is where we wanted to live). No regrets- love our house and it’s a good location but taxes are definitely higher than elsewhere in TV.
