We live in Osceola Hills, which is an un-incorporated (to our knowledge) village just north of Lake Deaton shopping center. If we lived in an incorporated area like Wildwood or Fruitland Park, I guess our taxes would be a few hundred dollars more.
Comparing Florida to Virginia is not a fair comparison for many reasons. Taxes are one reason that I moved out of Virginia. I am saving a bundle on state income taxes alone.
