MUNICIPAL NOTE

A short-term debt security issued by state and local governments with one year (or less) maturity. This note finances capital expenditures such as construction projects. These are appealing to investors because it has fixed income and often exempted from local, state, and/or federal taxes. Some of the municipal notes include bond anticipation notes (BANs), grant anticipation notes (GANs), revenue anticipation notes (RANs), tax anticipation notes (TANs), and tax-exempt commercial paper.
