BONDS ISSUED FOR 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.

Bond Issuance Fee
The initial Commission Issuance fee is 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.

Annual Commission Fee
The annual Commission fee is 25 basis points (0.25%) of the outstanding bond amount on July 1 of each year, paid in semi-annual installments.
