With that, you qualify for a $50,000 exemption on your RE tax.

We live in Sumter Cty and applied for the exemption at the Cty Tax Collector's Office in the same building as the Sherriff's Office on Rte 466.

There is another $25,000 exemption if your income is less than $27,000/yr (not sure the exact dollar amt but close).
Could you tell me more about that last exemption you mentioned concerning an additional $25,000 if your income is less than $27,000? I hadn't ever heard about that.
