About Seymour
The City of Seymour is located one hour south of Indianapolis, one hour north of Louisville and one and one-half hours west of Cincinnati. Seymour, Jackson County, Indiana is the place to live your future! Seymour has a population of approximately 20,000 residents and is served by Mayor Matthew Nicholson, Clerk-Treasurer Darrin Boas and seven Councilmembers.
Seymour is a thriving industrial, commercial, and residential community based on well-planned growth and progress. The quality of life is demonstrated by Seymour’s “small town” yet bustling atmosphere, beautiful parks and open spaces, attractive landscaping and arterial streets, a low crime rate, quality schools and affordable housing. Because of the geographic location, a pro-business environment, and a proactive local government — Seymour is expected to continue to grow.

Seymour Owner - Occupied Rehabilitation Program
The City of Seymour is once again applying for grant money through the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program to help low-income residents with home improvement projects including roofs, HVAC, water heaters, and/or lighting, electrical upgrades and ADA accessibility.
In 2022, we applied for and received $250,000 and helped 23 homes. This year we are applying for $350,000 with a $50,000 match from the Seymour Redevelopment Commission and hope to help even more homes.
A public hearing on this program will be at 5 p.m., Monday, Aug. 12 in the meeting room at the Seymour Library.
Applications are available at Seymour City Hall or online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/2024SeymourOOR
