It appears to me any way you slice it that the County tax rate has been increased by 25%. I have no doubt we will see further increases coming on a much more frequent basis.

< 12%

Just over 1% over the last ten years.
Yes, some consider this a big bite in one year,

BUT
I have had the 1% increases in my pocket for the last 10 years.


There will always be County Tax Dollars which will not be of direct benefit to me. Just like many Federal & State tax dollars.


Whiners missed the boat.

The time to raise questions is during the budget process.


Oh wait, the sun came up this morning.

As I stated this AM on the other tax post with 1200 plus views "After three hours of a public meeting with much outcry by Villagers the TAX INCREASE OF 25% WAS VOTED IN. Ref the online "other news" this morning." Why did we start a new thread ?

So we can begin to work on getting the commissioners out. There will be grass root work to get them replaced. We The Villages have been lied to by the Morrises and all their representatives too long. They are bringing in the dough and they see Seniors as a good target. Time to get involved. People buying in the South need rec centers not rec areas and town squares and restaurants. No more blind beliefs. The senior Morris is rolling over in his grave to see the greed. It’s time to bring all this to the attention of future buyers and others to see. If I hear one more person say we were told I’ll scream.wake up people.Its just the beginning

There is one R in Morse and no pee in Lake Sumter and the senior "Morse" is called Harold Schwartz, and I have lived here and owned here for more than thirteen years and I respectfully disagree with your thoughts and opinions...…….except, I AM a Buckeye fan.

Clearly spoken out of emotion rather than fact and evidence.

GG please don't misquote me! I never said "dirty". That was your word..... and why would you be thinking that? I said "Commissioners with questionable loyalty". There is a BIG difference.

While we are at it could you please answer my question? What happened? You were sure the County Property Taxes would not go up anywhere near 25%. Mine went up 28% because of the millage increase and an increase in assessed value also.

Why did you pick this thread to ask about my post in the other thread? The post were I stated my concern for the people who unlike us can not afford this increase.

Try it...... just say "I was wrong" I know you can do it. You may have to take off your rose colored glasses..... but you can do it!

Remember - it's a done deal and nobody will be talking about it in 2 days. For that matter it was a done deal when it was proposed by the "Commissioners with questionable loyalty"

[billethkid]

You mean those who were elected to represent us.....didn't!?!?!?!?

Wait a minute.........................

Other reason for this new post...............a lot of snowbirds & traveling full-times don't have access to current articles.

For them, thanks for the new post.

[justjim]

Friends and neighbors: You might as well “Suck it up” because it’s a done deal. If all the present Commissioners were replaced in the next election, it wouldn’t change anything IMHO.

Hey, de. Please don't take this personally (and I'm bracing for this off-topic reply to be deleted...heheh), but I really wish you'd consider doing away with your highly specialized posting format. Imho, it's annoying, especially when quoted and double-especially when using my phone. I've always enjoyed reading your posts. That enjoyment has been somewhat reduced by your format change. FWIW.

Thanks for your answer...... but I think they were asking the OP. and wanted an answer from her.

I think if it was to show today's page 7 "Daily Sun" story on the Property Tax increase that would be a weak reason. That story could have and may have been written a week ago. There is no new info. in it. I was also very happy to see the "Geocaching Club" made the front page.
