Shelbyville City Council approved its 2026 property-tax ordinance August 20, setting the real-property rate at 24.6 cents per $100 of assessed value. All six council members voted for the measure, according to the meeting minutes.
The rate for tangible personal property is 41.48 cents per $100. These are city rates; a county or school levy is a separate charge and shouldn't be confused with the city's bill.
October 29 update: The city says its tax assessments were mailed September 30 and the base amount is due on or before November 30. A 10% penalty begins December 1, with interest charged at 6% a year until payment.
