Municipal Leasing

        One of the ways a municipality can fund equipment acquisitions and infrastructure projects is by using the tax-exempt leasing options.

    This is different than bonds in a couple of primary ways.  One, there is no need to get a special vote or referendum on the ballot for the voters to elect to issues bonds, for which they guarantee and pay.  Two, lease agreements are not considered as debt.

    At Municipal-Funding, we get the lowest possible government tax-exempt lease rates (usually less than 5%) and we only charge a minimal fee compared to others who may promote simplicity, but charge 9.75% interest and fees.  Their process is no simpler than ours and their rates are by no means deals.

    With our low-interest loans and government tax-exempt leasing programs, we have the lowest rates and easiest terms of anybody.  Our interest rates are generally 1/2 of what others are charging, our applications processes are easier, and we give you faster approvals.

    Some of the items a municipality can finance through tax-exempt leasing includes: 

• just about any equipment or structures needed.

Why Municipal Leasing Equipment
May Be Your Best Option:

        You get the apparatus or equipment you need immediately or within a few days, after the lease agreement has been signed,
        You get to acquire the apparatus or equipment now at a lower price, because with inflation the price will only increase,
        You get the apparatus or equipment quickly in an emergency situation and in many states and municipalities this means doing so, in a state of declared emergency, without the need to go through a lengthy bid submission or review process,
        Lease purchases do not effect debt limitations, as they are not generally counted as debt, and as we all know, debt to fund balance ratios are necessary to maintain good bond ratings and in some cases to operate well within what the law requires,
        Tax-Exempt Municipal Leases for VFD/EMS and municipal governments are more affordable at lower interest rates than issuing bonds, even zero coupon bonds,
        Tax exempt municipal leases don't require voter approvals, months to get to the vote, the cost of adding the item on the ballot, and the political upheavals that decisions to issue bonds usually causes,
        Tax-Exempt municipal leasing generally doesn't require the need for local governments to raise property or other taxes to meet the obligation,
        Tax-Exempt Municipal Leases for VFD/EMS and municipal governments are more affordable at lower interest rates than other forms of loans or leases,
        The interest payments are exempt from federal taxation,
        Tax-Exempt municipal leasing makes it possible for local governments and other nontaxable entities to benefit from tax deductions normally available only to the private sector,
         You keep your cash for other necessary equipment purchases,
         The department or municipality is able to claim the depreciation on the apparatus and/or equipment, may assist in their tax preparations to show that they are truly non-profit,
        The apparatus or equipment is titled in the name of your department or community and the lease holder just has a simple first lien holder's position,
        You completely own the apparatus and/or equipment at the end of the lease.
