§ 96222 Bond Repayment Tax Levy

Key Takeaways

  • •The district must collect extra taxes every year to pay back its bonds (like a loan) on time.
  • •This extra tax pays for the yearly interest on the bonds and part of the main loan amount.
  • •If the loan isn’t due for over a year, the tax still gets collected to pay interest and save up for the full loan payment later.

Example

A school district takes out a big loan to build a new school. The loan has to be paid back in 10 years.

Every year, the district collects extra taxes from the community to pay the yearly interest on the loan and save up money to pay back the full loan when it’s due. This way, they don’t run out of money and can pay everything on time.

§ 96222 Bond Repayment Tax Levy

The board shall, in addition to the general tax levy as set forth in Section 96220, levy and collect annually until the district’s bonds are paid, or until there is a sum in the treasury of the district set apart for that purpose to meet all sums coming due for principal and interest on the bonds as they become due a tax sufficient to pay the annual interest on the bonds and such part of the principal thereof as becomes due before the proceeds of a tax levied at the next general tax levy will be available. If the maturity of the indebtedness created by the issue of bonds begins more than one year after the date of the issuance thereof, the tax shall be levied and collected annually at the time and in the manner aforesaid, sufficient to pay the interest on the indebtedness as it falls due and to constitute a sinking fund for the payment of the principal on or before maturity. (Added by Stats. 1965, Ch. 1835.)
