I feel the concern here is, Sumter County increased property taxes because they saw needs of their municipalities that were not being met financially. So they had the homeowners foot the bill. THEN they decided that developers (of which the Morse Family is the largest in the county) should get a break on impact fees.
It should have gone the other way around. Developers should be brought up to current impact fee trends and be charged impact fees that better reflect the region. Property taxes might also need increasing but not nearly at the new rate. |

I am afraid that nothing will change. I doubt that any are voted out of office. Too many people don't vote.

Might not only be a company town; might be a company county...

Maybe a 25% increase in tax will be an incentive to get out and vote.

At the end of the day, the homeowners pay no matter how you split the pie.
More recent homeowners and those without homestead exemption a pay a far higher percentage of taxes than those who have been here 5+ years. The impact of new development is built into the tax structure. Development is why employment is high and taxes in Sumter County has not increased in 10 years. Development is why Home prices outside the Villages has increased 32.8% so far this year. Last edited by Altavia; 11-17-2019 at 01:25 PM. |
