They tell you that the bond is at a low interest rate, but they don't tell you about all the admin fees they take.
Best to (a) pay it in cash.... (b) add to your mortgage....(c) if mortgage free, pay it on a Home Equity Line of Credit - low rate and pay as you wish - no penalty.
Or....$1,100 per year which feels like it takes forever.

(using approx. numbers) $20,000 bond paid over 30 years @$1100 per month = $33,000... Ouch!
I assume this is why some people choose to pay the bond off in cash. I called the Development District and there is no creative way to reduce the interest payments- it's either pay it off in full or pay it monthly.
With this in mind what is the best way to pay this bond?
