§ 13372 Refunding Bonds Issuance

Key Takeaways

  • •The district can issue new bonds to pay off old bonds early.
  • •The new bonds can't be for more money than the old ones.
  • •The new bonds must be paid back within 7 years from when the old bonds started.
  • •You can do this again with the new bonds, but the 7-year rule still applies.

Example

Imagine you took a loan to fix your house, but now you found a better loan with lower payments.

The district can do something like this with bonds. They can take a new bond (like a new loan) to pay off the old one, but they have to follow rules: no extra money and must pay it back within 7 years.
