taxes versus rate revenues. Furthermore, the report details the principal and interest for each
major service area of the City and provides two visual representations by dollar amount and
percentages.

INTRODUCTION
This report is divided into two sections. The first section (City Debt) presents the City’s outstanding debt by
the manner in which the City intends to pay for such debt (tax-supported versus revenue-supported).
Additionally, this section provides a breakdown of the City’s outstanding debt by purpose (General
Government, Electric, Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste and Airport). The second section (House Bill 1378)
is intended to comply with reporting requirements pursuant to Texas Local Government Code 140.008.
The City of Denton utilizes long-term debt to finance non-operating expenses, which may include
equipment, facilities, and the acquisition of land. The City generally issues debt for the purchase or
construction of capital assets and infrastructure improvements and cannot issue debt to fund operating
expenses or deficit spending. All debt issued by the City must be approved by the Texas Attorney General’s
Office prior to the final sale of the debt. Additional information on the City’s outstanding debt including
statistical comparisons and ratios can be found in the City’s Annual Financial Report, which is located on the
City’s website under the Finance Department. (www.cityofdenton.com)
The City issues two types of long-term debt: General Obligation Debt and Revenue Bond Debt. The City
also differentiates between tax-supported and revenue-supported debt to provide the public with a clear
understanding of which debt will be paid by property taxes versus rate revenues. The following table shows
the latest bond ratings for each type of debt for which ratings are given:
Moody’s1 Standard & Poor’s Fitch
General Obligation Debt Not Rated AA+2 AA+4
Revenue Bond Debt Not Rated A+3 A5

.
GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT:
The largest category of debt is General Obligation Debt. It consists of two categories of bonds:
General Obligation Bonds (GOs) and Certificates of Obligation (COs).
GOs are backed by the full faith and credit of the City (property tax pledge) and must be approved at an
election. Voter approval may be granted during one of two general election dates each year. GOs which are
issued to refund outstanding debt do not require voter approval. Under the City’s debt policy, GOs strive to
have a final maturity of twenty (20) years or less.
COs do not require voter approval and generally have a dual pledge of a specific City revenue source as well
as the full faith and credit of the City. Some examples of pledged City revenues are electric, water,
wastewater, and drainage revenues. Under the City’s debt policy, COs will strive to have a final maturity of
thirty (30) years or less. In 2010, the City began issuing COs not only for general government purposes
which are repaid by property taxes, but also for utility related projects of the City. The COs issued for utility
purposes are repaid from the specific utility fund for which the debt was issued. COs have a lower interest
rate than revenue bonds, due to the pledge of full faith and credit of the City. A portion of the interest
savings to the City’s utilities through issuing COs (instead of revenue bonds) is being applied to the Street
Improvement Fund.
4
REVENUE BOND DEBT:
The second category of debt is Revenue Bond Debt. This debt is secured by only a pledge of the operating
revenues of the City’s Electric, Water and Wastewater Funds (collectively known as the “Utility System”)
and not the full faith and credit of the City. Under the City’s debt policy, revenue bonds will strive to have a
final maturity of thirty (30) years or less. As of September 30, 2023, the City has the Utility System Revenue
Bonds, Series 2017 and 2021’s outstanding.
OUTSTANDING DEBT:
