And how much has your property value gone up , and how many more businesses , doctors , whatever will be on those roads and as one post said, are you including your bond when you complain about taxes if so , there are new roads leading out of here where you won’t have to pay it

I'm surprised YOU think they WON'T get their "money's worth"

And the new K-12 Charter School complex with housing for families built with no tax funds.

I just sold my house on Staten Island, moving to TV and waiting for the buyer to get Mortgage commitment. My attorney told me the property transfer tax went up in NYC and NYS. I will be giving the city over $8000 and the State approximately $4000. That’s 12 grand just to transfer the property to a new owner. My Real Estate taxes are close to $7000 and sales tax is 8.875 percent. Florida is going to be tax heaven.

Who do you think is paying your tax bill? Your tax escrow goes up when taxes increase.

I texted my cousin in Nassau County, NY a copy of my Florida property tax bill. LOL.

When you pay your teachers crap you can afford to have low property taxes.

Yes, because as we all know, the tax bill consists of 99.99% teacher's salaries and 0.01% everything else

No complaints. Taxes are 40% below old home taxes and are capped as to how much they can go up.

As far as taxes, no one wants to pay yet everyone wants services. Perhaps, to make you feel better, we fled New York in part due to taxes. The taxes on our 1200 sq foot home on a 50x100 lot were 10,000. We also had a 6% state tax. Sales tax was 7.25%. Electricity was close to twice what it is here. I think Florida oranges were/are cheaper in New York

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence till you get there and find there are weeds there too.

What a lot of nonsense. Far as teacher's pay, every time the subject comes up, the benefit package? It is the tax payers who pay for that and it is tax free income for the teachers.

Don't blame others. For people who do not enjoy teaching they should have done something else. Like any union job it encourages mediocrity. Great teachers are told they make the others look bad

They are gonna getcha before you run. Good news your auto insurance will drop close to half. Your electricity about half. State tax will go from 6% to ZERO. No New York City tax.
Minus, NY Pizza is better. New York deli is better. New York bakeries are better. So be sure to bring New York bagles and corned beef

I don't understand the grimace comment then...
Sumter Co Taxes lower than Lake or Marion
millage rates went down this year.
Schools need money to pay the teachers. Although us tax payers should have input to the content that is presented to the children. NO BLMBS!! NO CRTBS!! NO REVISED HISTORY!
