What it really costs to live here

Property tax, from the record
Owner-occupied
$448 / yr
about $37 a month
Owner-occupied, 65+
$0 / yr
both homestead exemptions
No exemptions
$957 / yr
a rental or second home
Assessed value $11,287 × the 2024 rate of 8.48% for tax code 12005 (Okaw Township), billed in 2025. On the asking price that is an effective 0.57%.
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.
Estimated Homeowner Payments
A planning estimate — not a loan offer, a pre-approval, or a quote. Every figure below is yours to change.
Estimated monthly cost
$591
- Principal & interest
- $437
- Taxes (from the record)
- $37
- Insurance
- $117
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.
