I think I said it in my comment, the bank already has the money for it because I have given it to them. Last year it went down $25 so if it goes up a little, no big deal. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

We pay a lot less than we did in Tampa (Hillsborough County).

death and taxes...ya can't escape either one

when all is said and done, and I add EVERYTHING up, our experience has been that it's pretty much a wash to live anywhere that offers decent hospitals, good school systems and low crime....and things to do

taxes might be less here...but I now drive 3 days to visit family vs. 20 minutes....

The problem is when Randy shows up with the sherriff.

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
That must be why Florida has a teacher shortage in the thousands - because the pay and benefits are so great.

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!
Don’t you vote for school board members?

There are teacher shortages everywhere. Not just in FL...

"The average Public School Teacher salary in Florida is $56,729 as of October 29, 2021, but the range typically falls between $49,525 and $65,490."

Which is more than my daughter makes in Arlington, VA...

According to her, the main problem is "job dissatisfaction", not low pay...

Note that the many of the Lake County tax bills were not mailed out until a few days ago. Apparently, this was a mistake.

Look on the District web site to find out what the $375 is.
Some things you have to do yourself!

Randy Mask….Emailed me my tax bill, and when I looked at it, I didn’t grimace,
I smiled and happily sent E-check within an hour!
Then again I’m from suburban Chicago, and I see
that some people here haven’t really experienced
high taxes.
