Public Sale: Larger Bonds Generally in Excess of $3 Million
Application Fee
The application fee is used to cover the costs of
processing the application. The application is not a commitment by either
the nonprofit organization or the Commission to proceed with financing. If
a project site changes, a new application and fee must be submitted. The
application fee ranges from $400 to $5,000 depending on the size of the bond
issue.
Deposit
Before the Commission can proceed with drafting the bond
documents, a good faith deposit of 0.5% of the proposed bond issue is due.
The deposit is due at the scoping meeting, which takes place after the
credit enhancer makes a firm commitment. If the issue is not completed, the
deposit will be returned less the costs incurred in developing the
transaction.

The initial Commission
Issuance fee is 25 basis points or 0.25% of the total bond
issue. Other bond-related issuance costs include bond counsel,
financial advisor, trustee fees and the cost of publishing the
public hearing notice. Commission staff will outline these costs
for you upon request. The costs of issuance will vary depending
on the type and structure of the bond. Up to 2% of the bond
proceeds may be used to pay for these costs.
