City conduit bonds backed by taxpayer agreements

Cities can issue conduit bonds to fund redevelopment projects. The bonds can be secured by payments under taxpayer agreements, the related liens, and pledged tax increment revenues. Bond repayment comes only from these pledged sources; the bonds are not general debts of the city or the state. Cities are not required to enter agreements and do not guarantee these bonds. Cities may assign payment streams, liens, and enforcement rights to a trustee or bond buyers. The law also adds taxpayer agreements to the redevelopment financing statute and repeals the old version.

Taxpayer agreements and property liens in redevelopment

In redevelopment districts, cities can sign taxpayer agreements with property owners or developers. These agreements can require extra payments, including payments in place of tax increment, and can limit your right to challenge assessments or tax liens. If the agreement is recorded, it creates a lien on the property that is enforced like a real estate tax and can take priority over later mortgages. The city must get written consent from any existing mortgage holder; without consent, the agreement lien is behind that mortgage. Missed payments get the same interest, penalties, fees, and foreclosure risk as delinquent property taxes. After you pay off all obligations, the city must record a release to clear the lien.
