about $170 a month
Owner-occupied, 65+

Assessed value $39,389 × the 2024 rate of 6.10% for tax code 16008 (Richland Township), billed in 2025. On the asking price that is an effective 1.46%.
The owner-occupied figures take the General Homestead ($6,000 off the assessed value) and Senior Citizens ($8,000) exemptions; the senior freeze, veterans’ and home-improvement exemptions are not shown and can lower a bill further. The rate is the newest the clerk has published; the next levy will move it a little, and a sale can prompt a reassessment. Sources: Shelby County Clerk, Tax Codes and Districts Catalog, 2024 (payable 2025) and the assessor's current file. The bill of record is the treasurer's: Erica Firnhaber, Shelby County Treasurer.
USDA zero-down loan
This address is in USDA-eligible territory. The Rural Development guaranteed loan needs no down payment; a modest guarantee fee (1% up front, 0.35% a year) stands in for conventional mortgage insurance. Most buyers from a city have never been told it exists.
Eligibility of the property, checked against USDA's own map on 2026-09-22. The household income limit and the home's condition are the lender's call; any USDA-approved lender can say in a phone call.
Internet
In Strasburg, 100% of locations can get 100/20 Mbps service; fiber reaches 99.6%; gigabit 99.6%. Wired and fixed-wireless service on offer: Cable, Copper, Fiber, Licensed Fixed Wireless.

Taxes are this parcel’s bill from the county record — assessed value × the clerk’s 2024 rate, less the General Homestead Exemption — not a percentage of the price. The worksheet lets you change it.
Covers the mortgage payment, taxes and insurance. Open the breakdown to add utilities and an upkeep set-aside — both are real monthly costs of owning a home, and we have not guessed at them for you.
Estimates for planning only. This is not an offer to lend, a commitment to lend, or an advertisement of credit terms, and it does not include loan costs such as origination, title or closing fees — your lender provides those on a Loan Estimate. Taxes, insurance, utilities and upkeep are assumptions and will differ from actual amounts. Shelby Realty Services does not guarantee any figure shown here.

What is Strasburg like to live in?
- Strasburg is a village of a few hundred people on Illinois Route 32, a few miles north of Stewardson and about twenty minutes from Effingham. It is the self-declared gnome capital of Illinois, and unlike most small-town slogans, this one is backed by a census. It is also what happens when a village decides not to fade away. Residents organized in 2007, built new business and a new subdivision, and picked a mascot with a sense of humor. The gnomes get the headlines and Hidden Springs State Forest gets the weekends, and for a buyer that adds up to acreage near public land with a real community behind it. Our full Strasburg guide is on this site.
What should I know about Strasburg before buying there?
