==Geography==
===Location=== Sensbachtal lies in the southern Odenwald and the ''Geo-Naturpark Bergstraße-Odenwald'' at elevations of between 300 and 550 m, 10 km away from Eberbach on the Neckar.
===Neighbouring communities=== Sensbachtal borders in the east on the community of Hesseneck (Odenwaldkreis), in the south on the town of Eberbach (Rhein-Neckar-Kreis in Baden-Württemberg) and in the west and north on the town of Beerfelden (Odenwaldkreis).
===Constituent communities=== Sensbachtal’s ''Ortsteile'' are Hebstahl, Ober-Sensbach and Unter-Sensbach.
==Politics== The municipal election held on 26 March 2006 yielded the following results: {| class="wikitable" |--- class="hintergrundfarbe5" |colspan="2" | '''Parties and voter communities''' |align="center" | '''%<br />2006''' |align="center" | '''Seats<br />2006''' |align="center" | '''%<br />2001''' |align="center" | '''Seats<br />2001''' |---- |GFW/ÜWS |Gemeinschaft Freier Wähler/Überparteiliche Wählervereinigung Sensbachtal |align="right" |100.0 |align="right" |15 |align="right" |65.6 |align="right" |10 |---- |DS |Dorfgemeinschaft Sensbachtal |align="right" |– |align="right" |– |align="right" |22.8 |align="right" |3 |---- |BVS |Bürger-Vereinigung-Sensbachtal |align="right" |– |align="right" |– |align="right" |11.6 |align="right" |2 |---- class="hintergrundfarbe5" |colspan="2" |'''Total''' |align="right" |'''100.0''' |align="right" |'''15''' |align="right" |'''100.0''' |align="right" |'''15''' |---- class="hintergrundfarbe5" |colspan="2" |'''Voter turnout in %''' |colspan="2" align="right" |'''52.0''' |colspan="2" align="right" |'''72.5''' |} The municipal council is thereby made up exclusively of non-party voter communities.
