Debt Information Summary
The 84th Legislature passed HB 1378 to increase the transparency of local government debt. Under Local Government Code Sec. 140.008, political subdivisions, including counties, cities, school districts, junior college districts, special purpose districts, and other subdivisions of state government must annually compile their debt obligation data from preceding year.
The Authority is committed to providing reliable, timely and transparent information about its outstanding debt to the citizens of the county. Presently, the Authority has four outstanding revenue bonds: bond series 2020, was issued September 1, 2020. The bond series 2020 consisted of two bonds: a tax-exempt series 2020A and a taxable series 2020B. The taxable series was a partial advance refunding of the series 2013 bond, which resulted in $6,540,415 in present value savings. On January 20, 2022, the Authority issued two additional bonds series 2022A and series 2022B. The purpose of the 2022A series was to begin construction of phase 1 and phase 2 of the 365 Toll Road. The 2022B series was to fully repay the Junior Lien Bond Series 2016A and provide additional funding for the 365 Toll Road.
