AAA BOND RATING AFFIRMED On July 17, 2024, the City of Chanhassen’s bond rating agency, Standard & Poor’s (S&P), once again affirmed Chanhassen’s ‘AAA’ bond rating with a stable outlook, meaning they do not expect the rating to change in the next two years. ‘AAA’ is the highest bond rating available to a municipality. The bond rating was evaluated for the city’s issuance of bonds for the Civic Campus project. Sustaining the AAA bond rating results in lower interest rates for the city and tax savings for residents.
Facilities, Vehicles & Equipment: $4.97
Debt Service: $3.42
