I would ask to see the actual bills (or look them up online) to know exactly where those numbers came from.
Not an "expert" in taxes and tax comparisons, but wouldn't it also apply, that the actual tax paid would depend on if the present property owner's tax bill had a homestead exemption ? And also (don't understand how this works) was told that when an individual sells their homesteaded property to move to another property where they will have a homestead exemption, the taxes will (somehow ??) be similar to their previous residence and NOT increase 25, 30, 50% ? If someone actually knows how that works, would love to see it posted here !
