Yes. Sun City is a 55 and over community, and residency rules limit who can live in a home. Review the current rules with the community before you buy.

Do Sun City homeowners pay school taxes?

Most Sun City homeowners are exempt from the local school district's secondary property taxes, which can lower the annual tax bill. Check the tax history for each property.
