Key Takeaways

  • •If a local government borrows money with a note, they must pay it back, even if the money they planned to use isn't enough.
  • •They can use other money they have to pay it back, like extra taxes or income.
  • •If a county borrows money, they must add extra taxes to make sure they can pay the interest on time.

Example
