Bond Rating
Each year the City prepares a Ratings Agency presentation prior to its annual debt issue. This presentation includes an overview of the current City's financial and economic development activity, as well as, other community information. We hope that you find it interesting and useful.
As a result of the 2007 Rating Agency presentation, the City's bond ratings were as follows:
| General Obligation Debt | Moody's | Aa3 |
| Standard & Poors | AA- | |
| Utility Revenue Debt | Moody's | Aa3* |
| Standard & Poors | AA-* | |
| Sales Tax Revenue Debt (GTEC - 4B ) | Moody's | A1 |
| Standard & Poors | A+ |
* Indicates an upgrade over the 2006 ratings
The City's bond rating is an indication of its financial stability and creditworthiness. Georgetown's ratings are considered excellent and continue to show strength in community growth and strong financial management. These ratings help determine the interest costs paid by the City when it issues debt. The recent utility bond upgrade, as well as the affirmation of the City's General Obligation debt rating, will result in lower annual debt service payments thus benefiting the City's tax payers and customer base.
