Dear Taxpayer:
I appreciate the opportunity that you have given me to serve as your Tax Commissioner.
The duties and responsibilities of the office of Tax Commissioner are many and varied,
but our main function is to serve you, the citizens of Sumter County. This site
has been prepared to help you understand your rights and responsibilities as a property
owner. I hope it will be of value to you.
I have attempted to answer frequently asked questions and
provide general information regarding taxation in Sumter
County. Please remember that this website cannot cover the many and complex laws
and should not be relied on as a legal source of information.
Whether you are a new resident or have been in our county for some time, my goal
is to fulfill my responsibility as your Tax Commissioner in a fair and equitable
manner. Please feel free to contact this office if you have any questions on the
information addressed on this site.
Sincerely,
Bill McGowan
