Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has adopted regulations that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a
prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The investment adviser has claimed an exclusion
from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to its management of each Fund. Accordingly, neither the Funds nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Funds is subject to CFTC
regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, the Funds' adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator. The adviser is also registered as a commodity trading advisor.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or
other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Returns are historical and are calculated net of management fees and other expenses by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or market price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested in accordance with the Fund’s
Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Furthermore, returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the sale of Fund shares. Performance at market price will differ from performance at NAV due to
variations in the Fund’s market price versus NAV, which may reflect factors such as fluctuations in supply and demand for Fund shares, changes in Fund distributions, shifting market expectations for the Fund’s future returns and
distribution rates, and other considerations affecting the trading prices of closed-end funds. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for
periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. For performance as of the most recent month-end,
please refer to eatonvance.com.

For
purposes of the Fund’s rating restrictions, ratings are based on Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), as applicable. If
securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the highest rating is applied. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit
ratings measure the quality of a bond based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or
higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of
the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as “Not Rated”
(if any) are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above. |

The shares
of the Fund often trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. The discount or premium may vary over time and may be higher or lower than what is quoted in this report. For up-to-date premium/discount information, please refer to

The
Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV or market price at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be comprised of amounts
characterized for federal income tax purposes as tax-exempt income, qualified and non-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital. The Fund may distribute more than its net investment
income and net realized capital gains and, therefore, a distribution may include a return of capital. The Fund will determine the federal income tax character of distributions paid to a shareholder after the end of the calendar year. This is
reported on the IRS form 1099-DIV and provided to the shareholder shortly after each year-end. For information about the tax character of distributions made in prior calendar years, please refer to Performance-Tax Character of Distributions on the
Fund’s webpage available at eatonvance.com. The Fund’s distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Fund’s long-term return potential. Fund distributions may be affected by numerous
factors including changes in Fund performance, the cost of financing for Funds that employ leverage, portfolio holdings, realized and projected returns, and other factors. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by
the Fund could change. Shareholders should not assume that the source of any distribution from the Fund is net income or profit, and the Fund’s distributions should not be used as a measure of performance or confused with “yield”
or “income”. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on
your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. |

Fund
employs RIB financing. The leverage created by RIB investments provides an opportunity for increased income but, at the same time, creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater price volatility). The cost of leverage rises and
falls with changes in short-term interest rates. See “Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held” in the notes to the financial statements for more information about RIB financing. RIB leverage represents the amount
of Floating Rate Notes outstanding at period end as a percentage of Fund net assets plus Floating Rate Notes. |

On January
26, 2023, the Board of Trustees of each Fund voted to exempt, on a going forward basis, all prior and, until further notice, new acquisitions of Fund shares that otherwise might be deemed “Control Share Acquisitions” under the
Fund’s By-Laws from the Control Share Provisions of the Fund’s By-Laws. |

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Municipal Bond Fund (Municipal Fund), Eaton Vance
California Municipal Bond Fund (California Fund) and Eaton Vance New York Municipal Bond Fund (New York Fund), (each individually referred to as the Fund, and collectively, the Funds), are Massachusetts business trusts registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). New York Fund is a as non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. Municipal Fund and California Fund are diversified closed-end management investment companies. The
Funds' investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and, in state specific funds, taxes in their specified state and city (if any).
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
A Investment
Valuation—The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of
investments.
Debt Obligations. Debt obligations are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to,
reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as
industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term debt obligations purchased with a
remaining maturity of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Fair Valuation. In
connection with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Trustees have designated a Fund’s investment adviser as its valuation designee. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued
by the investment adviser, as valuation designee, at fair value using methods that most fairly reflect the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that a Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its
current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the
existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from
broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an
evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
B Investment Transactions and Related Income—Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized
gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal
Taxes—Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its taxable, if any, and tax-exempt net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no
provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in non-taxable municipal securities, which
are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by each Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to
shareholders.
As of March 31, 2024, the Funds had
no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each Fund files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal
Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
D Legal Fees— Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected
to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
E Use of
Estimates—The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
F Indemnifications—Under each Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against
certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to each Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as a Fund) could be deemed to have personal
liability for the obligations of the Fund. However, each Fund’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Fund shall assume, upon request by the
shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or
expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in
Eaton Vance
Municipal Bond Funds
March 31, 2024
Notes to Financial

the normal course of
business, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund
that have not yet occurred.
G Floating Rate
Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held—The Funds may invest in residual interest bonds, also
referred to as inverse floating rate securities, whereby a Fund may sell a variable or fixed rate bond for cash to a Special-Purpose Vehicle (the SPV), (which is generally organized as a trust), while at the same time, buying a residual
interest in the assets and cash flows of the SPV. The bond is deposited into the SPV with the same CUSIP number as the bond sold to the SPV by the Fund, and which may have been, but is not required to be, the bond purchased from the Fund (the
Bond). The SPV also issues floating rate notes (Floating Rate Notes) which are sold to third-parties. The residual interest bond held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the Floating Rate Notes to generally
tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the Bond held by the SPV transferred to the Fund, thereby terminating the SPV. Should the Fund exercise such right, it would generally pay the SPV the par amount due on the Floating Rate Notes and
exchange the residual interest bond for the underlying Bond. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities, the Funds account for the transaction described
above as a secured borrowing by including the Bond in their Portfolio of Investments and the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes issued” in their Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
Floating Rate Notes have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender their notes to the SPV for redemption at par at each reset date. Accordingly, the fair value of the payable for floating rate notes
issued approximates its carrying value. If measured at fair value, the payable for floating rate notes would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 6) at March 31, 2024. Interest expense related to a Fund’s
liability with respect to Floating Rate Notes is recorded as incurred. The SPV may be terminated by the Fund, as noted above, or by the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the trust agreement, such as a downgrade in the credit
quality of the underlying Bond, bankruptcy of or payment failure by the issuer of the underlying Bond, the inability to remarket Floating Rate Notes that have been tendered due to insufficient buyers in the market, or the failure by the SPV to
obtain renewal of the liquidity agreement under which liquidity support is provided for the Floating Rate Notes up to one year. At March 31, 2024, the amounts of the Funds’ Floating Rate Notes and related interest rates and collateral were as
follows:

|
$121,933,009
|
$114,758,670
|
In addition, at March 31, 2024,
Municipal Fund pledged cash collateral of $2,250,000 for the benefit of a liquidity provider for certain Floating Rate Notes. Such collateral is reflected as restricted cash on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Funds’
average settled Floating Rate Notes outstanding and the average interest rate (annualized) including fees were as follows:

|
| Average
Interest Rate |
4.05%
|
3.96%
|
4.02%
|
In certain circumstances, the Funds
may enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements with brokers by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker for the difference between the liquidation value of the Bond held by the SPV and the liquidation value of the Floating Rate Notes, as
well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The Funds had no shortfalls as of March 31, 2024.
The Funds may also purchase residual interest bonds in a
secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond. Such transactions are not required to be treated as secured borrowings. Shortfall agreements, if any, related to residual interest bonds purchased in a secondary market
transaction are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments.
The Funds' investment policies and restrictions expressly
permit investments in residual interest bonds. Such bonds typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality and maturity. These securities tend to underperform the market for
fixed rate bonds in a rising long-term interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when long-term interest rates decline. The value and income of residual interest bonds are generally more volatile than that of
a fixed rate bond. The Funds' investment policies do not allow the Funds to borrow money except as permitted by the 1940 Act. Effective August 19, 2022, the Funds began operating under Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which, among other things,
governs the use of derivative investments and certain financing transactions by registered investment companies. Consistent with Rule 18f-4, the Funds may treat their investments in residual interest bonds and similar financing transactions as
subject to the asset
Eaton Vance
Municipal Bond Funds
March 31, 2024
Notes to Financial
Statements (Unaudited) — continued
coverage requirements
of Section 18 of the 1940 Act, or as derivatives transactions subject to the Funds' value-at-risk (VaR)-based limits on leverage risk. Effective October 11, 2023, the Funds have opted to treat such investments as derivatives transactions. The Funds
may change this approach at any time. Residual interest bonds held by the Funds are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
H When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery
Transactions—The Funds may purchase securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and
delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Funds maintain cash and/or security positions for these
commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Such
security purchases are subject to the risk that when delivered they will be worth less than the agreed upon payment price. Losses may also arise if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
I Interim Financial Statements—The interim financial statements relating to March 31, 2024 and for the six months then ended have
not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in the opinion of the Funds' management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial
statements.
2 Distributions to
Shareholders and Income Tax Information
Each Fund intends
to make monthly distributions of net investment income to common shareholders. In addition, at least annually, each Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As required by U.S. GAAP, only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are reported in the financial
statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary
income. Distributions in any year may include a return of capital component. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the amount of distributions estimated to be a tax return of capital were approximately $2,589,000, $987,000 and $555,000 for
Municipal Fund, California Fund and New York Fund, respectively. The final determination of tax characteristics of a Fund's distributions will occur at the end of the year, at which time it will be reported to the shareholders.
At September 30, 2023, the following Funds, for federal income
tax purposes, had deferred capital losses which would reduce the respective Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would
reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of a Fund’s next
taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. The amounts of the deferred capital losses are as follows:

3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions
with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by
Eaton Vance Management (EVM), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to each Fund. The investment adviser fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.60% of each Fund’s
average weekly gross assets and is payable monthly. Gross assets of a Fund are calculated by deducting accrued liabilities of the Fund except (i) the principal amount of any indebtedness for money borrowed, including debt securities issued by the
Fund and the amount of floating-rate notes included as a liability in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities of up to $801,875,000 for Municipal Fund, $228,750,000 for California Fund and $165,000,000 for New York Fund, and (ii) the
amount of any outstanding preferred shares issued by the Fund. EVM also serves as the administrator of each Fund, but receives no compensation. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the investment adviser fees were as follows:
| |
Municipal
Fund |
California
Fund |
New
York
Fund |
| Investment
Adviser Fee |
$3,430,707
|
$1,062,858
|
$824,691
|
Trustees and officers of the
Funds who are members of EVM’s organization receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Funds who are not affiliated with EVM may elect to defer receipt of all or a
percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers of EVM.
4 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term
obligations, for the six months ended March 31, 2024 were as follows:

5 Common Shares of
Beneficial Interest
The Funds may issue common shares
pursuant to their dividend reinvestment plans. There were no common shares issued by the Funds for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended September 30, 2023 pursuant to such plans.
In November 2013, the Board of Trustees initially approved a
share repurchase program for the Funds. Pursuant to the reauthorization of the share repurchase program by the Board of Trustees in March 2019, each Fund is authorized to repurchase up to 10% of its common shares outstanding as of the last day of
the prior calendar year at market prices when shares are trading at a discount to net asset value (NAV). The share repurchase program does not obligate a Fund to purchase a specific amount of shares. There were no repurchases of common shares by the
Funds for the six months ended March 31, 2024. During the year ended September 30, 2023, the number, cost (including brokerage commissions), average price per share and weighted average discount per share to NAV of common shares repurchased, were as
follows:

At
March 31, 2024, according to the filings made on Schedule 13D and 13G pursuant to Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, one entity owned 20.0% of Municipal Fund's common shares, three affiliated entities and
two affiliated entities each owned more than 10% of California Fund's common shares aggregating 23.6%, and three affiliated entities and two affiliated entities each owned more than 10% of New York Fund's common shares aggregating 27.7%.
6 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value
measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| •
|
Level 1 – quoted prices
in active markets for identical investments |
| •
|
Level 2 – other
significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| •
|
Level 3
– significant unobservable inputs (including a fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in
different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At March 31, 2024, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the
Funds' investments, which are carried at fair value, were as follows:

Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and
shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Equiniti Trust Company, LLC ("EQ"), the closed-end funds transfer agent, or your financial intermediary, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct EQ, or
your financial intermediary, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact EQ or your financial intermediary. Your instructions that
householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by EQ or your financial intermediary.
Portfolio
Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) files a schedule of portfolio holdings on Part F to Form N-PORT with the
SEC. Certain information filed on Form N-PORT may be viewed on the Eaton Vance website at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Proxy
Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying
Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or
Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122 and by accessing the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Share Repurchase
Program. The Funds' Boards of Trustees have approved a share repurchase program authorizing each Fund to repurchase up to 10% of its common shares
outstanding as of the last day of the prior calendar year in open-market transactions at a discount to net asset value. The repurchase program does not obligate a Fund to purchase a specific amount of shares. The Funds' repurchase activity,
including the number of shares purchased, average price and average discount to net asset value, is disclosed in the Funds' annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders.
Additional Notice to Shareholders. If applicable, a Fund may also redeem or purchase its outstanding preferred shares in order to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, borrowing or
rating agency requirements or for other purposes as it deems appropriate or necessary.
Closed-End Fund Information. Eaton Vance closed-end funds make fund performance data and certain information about portfolio characteristics available on the Eaton Vance website shortly
after the end of each month. Other information about the funds is available on the website. The funds’ net asset value per share is readily accessible on the Eaton Vance website. Portfolio holdings for the most recent month-end are also posted
to the website approximately 30 days following the end of the month. This information is available at www.eatonvance.com on the fund information pages under “Closed-End Funds & Term Trusts.”
