Since our establishment in 1985, we have specialized in financing public infrastructure, facilities and services for public agencies and private sector clients throughout the United States.
DTA has provided public finance consulting services to over 2,000 public and private sector clients, and has utilized a variety of public financing mechanisms such as Community Facilities Districts (CFDs), Assessment Districts, Special Service Areas, Local Improvement Districts, Certificates of Participation, Tax Allocation Bonds, Sewer and Water Revenue Bonds, Marks-Roos Bond Pools, Landscaping and Lighting Districts, Integrated Financing Districts and various types of fee programs.
Our experience in the formation of over 1,500 special districts and funding programs over the past 25 years, with bond authorizations exceeding $50 billion, have given us a perspective and level of skill that is unmatched in our industry. It has also enabled our firm to develop SmartMuni™, a proprietary cloud-based software that allows our clients to access real-time information on their special districts from any computer, without needing to install their own software.
DTA has also assisted clients in obtaining funds through programs promulgated under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. As a result of this work, our clients have been awarded numerous federal and state grants and loans, as well as proceeds from Recovery Zone Bonds and various Tax Credit Programs. In addition, DTA has developed a Proprietary Database that includes key characteristics for all CFDs in the State of California to assist investors interested in the purchase of discounted CFD bonds.
