The assessor's record

Parcel number: 1208-28-00-400-011
County: Shelby County, Illinois
Township: Okaw
Assessor’s class: Commercial
Assessed acreage: 2.18 acres
Assessed value: $58,565

Illinois assesses property at one-third of market value, and farmland on its soil productivity rather than its price. The assessed value is the county's figure for taxation; it is not an appraisal and not an estimate of what the property would sell for.

What the property tax runs

Owner-occupied, 65+

$3,302 / yr

a rental or second home

Assessed value $58,565 × the 2024 rate of 5.64% for tax code 12001 (Okaw Township), billed in 2025.

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.

$92,500 to $355,000 — the 13 homes within 2 miles that the county recorded selling at arm's length since November 2023. Half of them went for $210,000 to $280,000; the median was $265,000.

That is the neighbourhood, from the deeds, not a figure for this parcel: the record does not know its size, its condition or its kitchen.
