A revenue bond is a type of municipal bond that is issued by a government agency or authority to finance a specific revenue-generating project, such as a toll bridge, airport, or water treatment facility. The bond is backed by the revenue generated by the project, rather than the full faith and credit of the issuing government. In the event of default, bondholders have a claim on the project's revenue stream, rather than on the government's general funds.
