The vast majority of bonds that are issued are subject to taxes and are therefore applicable as taxable bonds. In the past, when traditional issuers offered tax-free bonds for certain projects are now most commonly issued with interest taxable bonds unless the project benefits the public at an increased level.

Taxable municipal bonds most commonly pay a higher rate of interest than other bonds, however with protection from early redemption and some exemption from state and/or local taxes with which the bonds are issued, it evens itself out. States will usually always use their allotted quantity/value of tax-exempt bonds and therefore issue taxable bonds which are most commonly used to finance private development. Taxable municipal bonds are always issued as private purpose bonds when financing projects such as sports entertainment facilities.
