Chapter 9: County Reorganization
A San Francisco bankruptcy attorney explains Chapter 9 bankruptcies.
Counties as a whole can get involved in a number of bad business deals. If they happen to give a number of bad loans to different companies out there, they may have to end up filing a chapter 9 county bankruptcy, This is why you need to do a fair amount of research on the companies that you are involved with. A county does not want to promise economic development projects and then have the loan process blow up in their face. If the loan process does not go well you will have to end up filing a Chapter 9 County bankruptcy unless the overseers of the county budget have done a great job of preparing for the worst when it comes to a county's rainy day fund.
Civil lawsuits can sometimes put small towns into financial peril and this is why you may see some counties filing for chapter 9 bankruptcy protection. Some state legislators tend to call for tort reform. The hope is that the tort reform may prevent some of these smaller counties from having to face massive lawsuits that lead them into a bankruptcy filing. The bankruptcy filing can be a black eye for communities who want to draw in new people to live there.
