§ 33777 Revenue Bond Terms

Key Takeaways

  • •This law lets cities or agencies borrow money by selling special bonds, and they promise to pay it back using money they earn from projects (like tolls or fees).
  • •The rules for these bonds can include how the money is used, how much is saved for paying back, and what happens if they can’t pay.
  • •The law also says what happens if the agency breaks the rules—like if they don’t pay on time—and how bondholders can fix it.
  • •Sometimes, the agency can use houses or land as a backup promise to pay back the bondholders if things go wrong.

Example

A city builds a new toll bridge and sells bonds to pay for it. They promise to use the toll money to pay back the people who bought the bonds.

If the city doesn’t use the toll money the right way or misses a payment, the bondholders can take action—like taking over the toll money or even the bridge—to get their money back. The law makes sure everyone knows the rules ahead of time.
