§ 37647 Local Agency Bond Limitations

Key Takeaways

  • •These special bonds are not the local government's responsibility to pay back.
  • •The money to pay these bonds comes only from specific funds, not from taxes.
  • •The government won’t raise taxes or use public money to pay these bonds.

Example

A city builds a new park using special bonds.

If the park doesn’t make enough money, the city can’t use taxes or other public money to pay back the bonds. Only the money from the park (like entry fees) can be used.
