§ 52062 Bond Issuance Limitations Agreement

Key Takeaways

  • •Cities or counties can't issue unlimited bonds for home loans—they have a set maximum.
  • •After issuing bonds, they must wait 3 years or use all the money before issuing more, unless they get special permission.
  • •Bonds must clearly state that California won’t pay if the city or county can’t—it’s their responsibility, not the state’s.
  • •The state agency must approve the city or county’s lawyer for the bonds and set rules like home prices, loan amounts, and who can borrow.

Example

A city wants to issue bonds to help people buy homes.

The city can’t issue more than a set amount of bonds, and they have to wait 3 years or use all the money before getting more. They also can’t say the state will pay if they can’t—they have to make it clear it’s their own responsibility. Plus, the state agency has to approve their lawyer and set rules like how much homes can cost.
