Please note that there are NO houses in Shannon currently under a boil order; the main that has a break feeds only to Eastland Elementary.

We will continue to monitor the situation as it is rectified tomorrow and will alert residents if there is any change in circumstance.

The Shannon Fire Department asked the Village to share an update that both the Shannon and Lanark Fire Departments are currently in the middle of conducting routine training this evening (4/15/2026) here in Shannon and that there exists no emergency.

We thank all our local firemen for their dedication to our community.

April 15 may be associated with income taxes, not property taxes, but it still brings taxes to the forefront of many residents' minds and provides a useful opportunity to examine how property tax dollars are allocated.

In short, 16.1% of total real estate taxes collected from properties located within the Village of Shannon are allocated to the Village; the remaining 83.9% is distributed among other taxing bodies, including the school district, county, township, and fire district (2024 figures).

Importantly, the Village only receives tax revenue from properties within Village limits, and a “Shannon” mailing address does not determine residency. Properties outside Village limits do not contribute tax revenue to the Village and are not part of the Village of Shannon for tax or governance purposes.
