Some municipalities underwrite mortgages — usually for low-income residents or certain municipal employees such as teachers and first-responders — by floating bond issues to raise the money to lend. The mortgage payments then are used to pay off the bond holders. Since the bonds are sold by state or local governments, the bond interest is normally exempt from Federal income taxes.
If your mortgage was funded this way it will say so on the mortgage documents.
