I wouldn't know though, I don't know of any manufactured homes in Sumter County on properties that the homeowner owns, and doesn't lease/rent. I'm sure there are some, but none that I know of in The Villages.
Here is a thread with a good comparison of property taxes.

It doesn’t matter if you are in a manufactured home or a Villa, if the value is the same then the tax is the same. If the page above is accurate then it looks like you would be paying about the same in both counties for a home with that taxable value. My home has a higher taxable value so I would pay something like $1,000 if it was in unincorporated Lake County.

I’ve been in my house seven years now and it’s nice to know the $7,000 is in my pocket and not the county’s coffers.
