Sample Questions

Question 1

What is the primary source of repayment for a General Obligation (GO) bond?

Answer: GO bonds are backed by the full faith, credit, and unlimited taxing power of the issuing municipality. They are repaid through property taxes and other general tax revenues.

Question 2

What type of municipal bond is repaid solely from the revenues generated by the facility it finances?

Answer: A revenue bond is repaid exclusively from the earnings of the specific project it funds, such as a toll road, airport, or utility system. Unlike GO bonds, they are not backed by taxing power.

Question 3

What is a double-barreled bond?

Answer: A double-barreled bond is a municipal bond backed by both the revenue from a specific project AND the taxing power of the issuing municipality, giving it two sources of repayment.

Question 4

What is a Tax Anticipation Note (TAN)?

Answer: A TAN is a short-term municipal debt instrument issued in anticipation of future tax revenues. It allows municipalities to meet current cash-flow needs before taxes are collected.

Question 5

What distinguishes a moral obligation bond from a standard GO bond?

Answer: A moral obligation bond is backed by a non-binding legislative pledge to repay the debt, but the legislature is NOT legally required to appropriate funds. It lacks the full legal backing of a GO bond.
