Sumter County tax bill received today
 

Held my breath opening the envelope. Exhaled as I saw tax bill was $18.00 more than last years. Phew.

We payed our bond off a couple years ago so only had the “maintenance”’ $498.

Fire Assessment $125.

Considering current inflation going on, I’m OK…

My decrease in property tax was canceled by an increase in maintenance. Then the school tax increase raised my overall payment by about $200.

Pretty lucky---mine went up $260, almost all attributable to increase in school tax.

Mine went up $62. :shrug:

Oh gee….more whiney money posts from “poor” Villagers worried about a little increase.

Mine went up only $97+ from last year. At least I saved much more than that by cutting the cable and switching my Internet service. Save more than that in one month. But, no one enjoys seeing their taxes go up and up every year. Still waiting for ribeye steaks to return to a normal price.

It's not so much that taxes go up, it's more about what they're used for.

C’mon!!!! Why must people be so crabby here???
Personally I’m so tired of posts as this.
I saw nothing whiney or worried…

2 of our TV houses, both taxes went up $265, and $387.

Bonus on New build, taxes are on dirt, so win win for this year, next year :cry:

I can't do math.

What a nice situation for Sumter County and to a lesser extent Lake and Marion counties to be in. Large percentage of the real estate tax base (especially Sumter County) comprised of households that by decree cannot have school age children. Might also explain Wildwood's city limits. Don't blame them. Money is tight everywhere. Hope they spend it wisely.

I was pondering the same. Why did school taxes go up when 70-80% of the tax base do not have children? If you take into account the Developer built three new schools at no charge, it makes less sense. Maybe, they are upgrading/remodeling the older schools? Maybe, more children have moved into the area? Quite a bit of apartments, townhomes, and subdivisions have been built.

$127.00 increase. Just a trifle compared to the increases before moving here.
