Default Re: Tax millage rates

I happen to have my last tax bill handy (12/2006) which might be helpful to answer your question. We're in Sumter County which is where all the new development in the Villages is right now.

My tax statement shows a total Millage rate of 14.9660. On a $127K assessment, this translates to $1,901.27 "ad valorem taxes." On top of that there's the "non-ad valorem" assessments totaling $1,084.97. Bottom line for a villa assessed at $127K the annual tax is $2.986. We bought this villa in 12/2005 for $160 and similar villas have recently sold for around $210 today.

Have no idea how the tax rate compared with the other two counties, Marion and Lake. We've heard Marion County has the highest taxes of the three.
