HB 3526 Local Bond Reports

What these reports are

To collect the same information from every local government, BRB staff built Excel forms for the information HB 3526 requires.

There are three reports: the Authorized But Unissued Report, the Pre-Election Report and the Post-Election Report.

When each report is due

BRB's Local Forms page does not state due dates. The dates below come from the statute and are rule facts.

• Rule, Texas Government Code 1231.025: A Pre-Election Report is due at least 20 days before a bond election. It gives the election date, proposition numbers, total estimated cost of issuance, estimated minimum annual debt service, the purpose, and other information the Board needs.
• Rule, Texas Government Code 1231.025: A Post-Election Report is due within 20 days after the election. It gives votes cast, votes for, votes against, and updates.
• Rule, Texas Government Code 1231.026: A local government with voter-approved unissued bonds files an annual report by September 30. It gives the total, the authorizing law, proposition numbers, estimated issuance cost, estimated minimum annual debt service, and other information.
