What is a Municipal Lease?
A Municipal Lease is a proven, economical method of financing that allows qualifying government organizations to quickly acquire capital equipment under extremely attractive terms, favorable interest rates, and with very streamlined documentation.
What makes a Municipal Lease different?
While a Municipal lease is similar to a commercial lease in many regards, there are several important differences:
- By law, the IRS does not charge income taxes to us for interest charged on a Municipal Lease. As a result, we are able to pass this savings on the you, the Municipality, in the form of very low rates.
- A Municipal Lease contains a “non-appropriation of funds” clause. This clause allows the Municipality to be released from its payment obligation if the legislature or funding authority fails to appropriate funds.
Who qualifies for a Municipal Lease?
Municipal governments, townships, cities, counties, water departments, school districts, hospitals, universities, and community colleges can all benefit from the flexible terms that municipal leasing affords.
