To say they don’t pay more than their fair share is FARFETCHED. They do have to pay for the augmented sheriffs’s staff required for those who don’t have a police department as well as their own local PD.
The total population of Wildwood is almost 20,000. The population of Sumter County is about 152,000. I would say their incorporated residents do have the unfair burden of paying for quite a few who pay nothing for municipal law enforcement.

Ridiculous!
Sumter County Sheriff provides service to ALL Sumter County, Wildwood included.
Wildwood gets ADDITIONAL coverage from Wildwood police. For that ADDITIONAL coverage (and more services from Wildwood) they pay Wildwood taxes.
Who are these "quite a few who pay nothing for municipal law enforcement?" Are you referring to me since I don't pay Wildwood taxes? In return for not paying those taxes I also don't receive Wildwood services. Do you want the entire county to pay for services limited to the incorporated areas???
