Description:

What are Bond Anticipation Notes (BANS), Revenue Anticipation Notes (RANS), and Tax Anticipation Notes (TANS)? BANS, RANS and TANS are all short-term debt instruments (average of 1 year maturity) issued by municipalities for various projects. In the case of BANS, they are to be repaid by a bond underwriting that is already in the works and the BAN is for interim finance. In the case of RANS, the notes are paid off by forthcoming revenues generated, such as by tolls. TANS are paid off by future taxes, such as for a public park or other project. BANS, TANS and RANS are all tax free like standard municipal bonds.
