The bond is not the same as credit card debt or even mortgage debt. Those debts are debts against an individual that can affect their credit rating and can have other financial consequences, like higher insurance rates. But, the bond is a debt against the property, and does not count as individual debt. The individual homeowner never needs to pay off the bond. But, you do need to pay interest.
