Welcome to
911-Funding
Many counties and
communities need new and reliable replacement 911 communication centers,
computers, phone lines and related technology immediately. One
way of achieving this is through IRS Section 103 tax-leasing programs, which we
have found to be the fastest, best and most assured method of financing.
With our low-interest
loans and tax-exempt leasing programs, we have the lowest rates and easiest
terms of anybody. Likewise our administrative fees are generally 1/2 of what others are
charging, our applications processes are easier, and we give you faster
approvals.
Leasing is different
than bond issues, because leases are not considered debt and as in the case of
municipal bonds, they do not require a public vote or special efforts on the
part of your municipal leaders. This is not to say that it is not possible
to use municipal bonds to payoff a lease obligation.
Why Leasing E-911 Communications Center Equipment
and Buildings May Be Your Best Option:
1.
You get the equipment you need immediately or within a few days,
after the lease agreement has been signed,
2.
You get to acquire the equipment now at a lower price, because with inflation the price will only increase,
3.
You get the 911 computers and related equipment quickly in an emergency situation and in many
states and municipalities this means doing so, in a state of declared emergency,
without the need to go through a lengthy bid submission or review process,
4.
Lease purchases do not effect debt limitations, as they are not generally
counted as debt, and as we all know, debt to fund balance ratios are necessary
to maintain good bond ratings and in some cases to operate well within what the
law requires,
5. Tax-Exempt Leases for
911 centers and municipal governments
are more affordable at lower interest rates than issuing bonds, even zero coupon
bonds,
6.
Tax exempt leases don't require voter approvals, months to get to the vote, the
cost of adding the item on the ballot, and the political upheavals that
decisions to issue bonds usually causes,
7.
Tax-Exempt leases generally don't require the need for local governments to
raise property or other taxes to meet the obligation,
8. Tax-Exempt Leases for
911 centers and municipal governments
are more affordable at lower interest rates than other forms of loans or leases,
9. The interest payments are exempt from federal taxation,
10. Tax-Exempt leases make it possible for local governments
and other nontaxable entities to benefit from tax deductions normally available
only to the private sector,
11.
You keep your cash for other necessary equipment purchases,
12.
The department or municipality is able to claim the depreciation on the
911 center and/or equipment, may assist in their tax preparations to show that
they are truly non-profit,
13.
The 911 center and equipment is titled in the name of your department or community
and the lease holder just has a simple first lien holder's position,
14.
You completely own the 911 center and/or equipment at the end of the lease.
Tax-exempt Lease FAQ:
If your community
chooses to fund your new 911 center and equipment through the issuing and sale of
municipal bonds, we can help you and them by finding purchasing sources for
these bonds.
