Debt Information Summary

Val Verde County issues long-term debt to finance major capital projects that support public infrastructure, public facilities and improvements, land acquisitions and road improvements. Debt obligations are typically issued in the form of tax-supported bonds, such as general obligation bonds and certificates of obligation and are repaid from property tax revenues. 

The County strives to manage its debt responsibly to maintain financial flexibility and ensure that borrowing costs remain low. Debt is only issued after careful analysis of the County's ability to repay without negatively impacting operations or services.

Tax-Supported Debt is repaid through property tax revenues and is typically used for county facilities, roads and public infrastructure.

Revenue-Supported Debt is repaid from specific revenue sources associated with a project or service rather than property taxes.

Lease Obligations represent financing agreements for equipment, vehicles or facilities acquired through lease-purchase arrangements.

Per Capita Debt reflects the County's outstanding debt divided by population and is commonly used as a measure of debt burden.
