Any stock broker can help here. But a word of caution, from my own experience. If you buy one, it is yours for its full term in practice. Theoretically you can sell it, buy my experience is that the market is thin to non-existent for bonds issued by the East Whatsit Sewer District. So, if you go for them for their tax advantages, think on keeping them full term.
