Every home is eligible for the homestead exemption if you live there full time; there is no age limit for this. If you are older (perhaps 65, I don't qualify yet) then there may be another exemption you can take. Google Sumter County Florida Property Tax to find a page with good information.

Actually, there is a separate "Villages" tax on your annual property tax bill, which is the annual maintenance for your particular unit. It is not based upon your property valuation, but is calculated annually based upon your unit's share of your district's annual maintenance. It tends to run between $500-$1000 annually.
