Municipal leases offer a low-cost flexible option.

Tight budgets for municipalities have always been a challenge and are proving to be even more challenging today. Using a lease can get you the asset your municipality needs while spreading the cost over the useful life of the asset. Often, 100% of the cost of the asset can be financed. The interest rates are exempt from Federal Taxes which translates to a lower interest rate to you. They are far simpler, take less time to close, and less costly compared to bond issues.

In most cases there will be no other costs associated with the lease. For larger, more complex needs, there may be additional costs such as surveys, title work, and additional legal fees. Usually these can be included within the lease.
