About Municipal Bonds:
Municipal bonds are debt obligations that are issued by counties, cities, redevelopment agencies, special-purpose districts, public utility districts or government bodies to raise money to fund various projects for the public good. These projects may include hospitals, infrastructures, sewers, roads, highways, bridges, schools, parks, etc.
When investing in municipals bonds you are essentially loaning money to a municipality for a return of an interest payment that generally are paid every six months (semi-annually) until the maturity of the bond, though other payment frequencies are possible. At maturity the full face value of each bond is then issued. Municipal bonds may be general obligations of the issuer or secured by specified revenues.
