This measure is the dollars of net bonded debt per capita and net bonded debt as a percent of taxable value of property. The FY 2018 results reported include the assessed value from the annexed areas.

Net bonded debt per capita represents the total outstanding debt secured by property taxes, net of debt service funds and self-supporting debt, divided by the city's population.
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.
