Program Overview: Municipal Finance Program is the ideal approach to acquiring capital equipment within tight budget constraints. Our Municipal Lease Plan combines the benefits of leasing and purchasing with special features designed to handle the challenges facing municipal fleet managers.
Municipal customers avoid major cash outlays and long-term obligations. Dealers enjoy a relationship that has potential to produce additional leases and sales for years to come.

How It Works: The Municipal Finance Program is a lease/purchase agreement that resembles a conditional sale or an installment purchase transaction. The program is a source of medium-term, tax-exempt financing designed as an alternative source of funds to acquire capital equipment.
The lessee makes periodic payments of principal and interest and obtains ownership of the equipment for $1.00 at lease maturity. The interest portion of the periodic payments to the lessor is exempt from federal income tax; therefore, the interest rates are low "tax-exempt" rates. The transaction is considered a current obligation of the lessee -- although the agreement may cover many years.
