§ 102530 District Revenue Bond Authority

This law lets a district sell bonds that are paid back with money earned from its own projects, and it removes the usual rule that those bonds can’t be backed by taxes.

Key Takeaways

  • •The district can issue revenue bonds that are paid back from the earnings of its own facilities.
  • •The normal rule that bonds can’t be secured by tax money does NOT apply here.
  • •The governing board must approve the bond issue with a two‑thirds vote.

Example

The district builds a new community swimming pool and needs money to finish it.

The district can sell bonds to raise the cash, then use the fees collected from pool users to pay back the bond holders. The board must approve the bond issue with a two‑thirds vote.
