§ 54427 Bond Security And Priority

Key Takeaways

  • •All bonds in the same group are equally protected by the money from the project they're for.
  • •No bond gets special treatment just because it was made or sold earlier.
  • •A local agency can make different groups of bonds and say one group gets paid back after another.

Example

A city sells bonds to build a new park. They sell some bonds in January and some in June.

The money from the park goes to pay back all the bonds equally. The January bonds don't get paid first just because they were sold first. But if the city makes two groups of bonds, they can say the second group only gets paid after the first group gets all their money.
