There are three tax rates
PER THOUSAND OF ASSESSED VALUE
Marion 17.9470
Sumter 16.4935 but will go down a couple of dollars next year
Lake 16.6059
If you are a full time resident ( Register Voter and have a FL drivers Lic ) you get a $25000 homestead exemption. Other wise you pay the full load
Taxes are based on the Selling Price of the home say for easy math $100,000
Florida is full value assessment state, but it kinda works out @85%
$100000 x .85 = 85000
85000/1000 = 85
85 x Millage Rate is you annual tax
There is some tax relief comming nest year and there will be a voter opportunity to change how property taxes are calculated.
