Per Capita: (Net bonded debt/population)
Debt to Value: (Net bonded debt/taxable property value)
The target is <$2,400 per capita and 1.5% Debt to the Taxable Value of Property.
This target reflects five year projections of debt issuances, population, and valuation.
The City wants to ensure the responsible use of debt. By managing this ratio the City can ensure its ability to keep taxes low for residents.
