§ 15230 Bond Repayment And Redemption
This law tells how long a bond can be paid back—no more than 25 years after it is issued—and how the government decides the exact payment schedule.
A city wants to borrow money to build a new library. It can choose to start paying the money back over many years, but the law says it can't stretch the payments longer than 25 years from the day the bonds are sold.
The city's finance team picks a date to start paying back the bonds, adds 25 years to that date, and that is the latest day they must have the money ready to pay the bond holders. If they want to pay earlier, they can, but they can't go beyond that 25‑year limit.
Maturity limit = Issue Date + 25 years
Bonds are issued on March 15, 2024.
Result: The bonds must be fully repaid by no later than March 15, 2049.
