Calmuni

A proprietary, hand-maintained database of California local-agency debt and the underlying credit, built continuously since 1932. Covers every California local obligation form — general obligation, lease revenue, certificates of participation, tax allocation, Mello-Roos Act, 1915 Act assessment, sales tax revenue and enterprise revenue bonds — joined to the credit substrate behind them: direct and overlapping bonded debt, largest local secured taxpayers, historical assessed valuations, historical tax levies and delinquencies, tax-rate summaries, assessment-district parcel summaries, single-family residential analysis and land-use analysis. Delivered through the Calmuni Subscription Service and its BONDjournal online front end, plus per-engagement products for official statements, continuing disclosure and CAFR statistical sections.

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular + documents — weekly printed new-issue reports, annual update volumes, and on-screen reports delivered via BONDjournal with per-seat passwords, plus bespoke research deliverables. No public API, bulk feed or flat-file product is offered; the classic print-and-phone delivery model is still in place alongside the web viewer.
Volume: Not printed anywhere on the site — Request further research for an exact row count. Directionally it is described as the largest database of California municipal issues: every California local-agency obligation across 8 security types plus per-agency historical valuation, levy, delinquency and taxpayer series, down to assessment-district parcel summaries — plausibly tens of thousands of issues and agencies with 90+ annual observations each for the valuation/levy series.
Users: N/A — no consumer accounts. Institutional subscription seats only: the published rate plan bundles 3 passwords with the Full Service contract and sells extra passwords at $200/quarter, implying a seat base in the low hundreds across a small set of advisory, underwriting, counsel and issuer clients.
History: 94 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Mature and active — a 94-year-old subscription franchise still being maintained: the subscription page carries a 2026 copyright, the service still ships weekly new-issue reports and annual updates, and its schedules continue to be cited as the data source inside current city CAFRs. Growth is flat by design: ~4 staff and a pricing sheet that has not changed shape.
Launched: 1932 — 'California Municipal Statistics, Inc. (Calmuni) was incorporated on December 30, 1932.' The online/BONDjournal delivery layer came much later (est. late 1990s-2000s, when the site notes subscribers 'now have' online access).
