A LETTER FROM THE CEO OF DREYFUS

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Inc., covering the 12-month period from June 1, 2016 through May 31, 2017. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.

Stocks advanced solidly over the past year while bonds produced mixed returns in response to various economic and political developments. Equities began the reporting period in the midst of a sustained rebound from previous weakness as global economic data improved, commodity prices recovered, and U.S. monetary policymakers delayed additional rate hikes. After a bout of volatility in late June 2016, stocks continued to climb over the summer. The unexpected outcome of U.S. elections in November sent stocks sharply higher in anticipation of new fiscal, regulatory, and tax policies. Generally strong economic data and corporate earnings continued to support stock prices over the first five months of 2017.

In the bond market, yields of high-quality government bonds declined to historical lows early in the reporting period due to robust investor demand for current income. Yields moved higher in late 2016 in anticipation of short-term interest-rate hikes and more stimulative U.S. fiscal policies, but they receded in early 2017 when political uncertainty caused some of those expectations to moderate. In contrast, lower-rated corporate-backed bonds generally fared well throughout the reporting period in a more business-friendly market environment.

Some asset classes and industry groups seem likely to benefit from a changing economic and geopolitical landscape, while others probably will face challenges as conditions evolve. Consequently, selectivity may be key to investment success in the months ahead. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of our observations with your financial advisor.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

Mark D. Santero
Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period from June 1, 2016 through May 31, 2017, as provided by Thomas Casey and Christine Todd, Portfolio Managers

Market and Fund Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2017, Dreyfus Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund produced a total return of 1.22%.¹ In comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond: 7 Year Index (6-8) (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, provided a total return of 1.78% for the same period.²

The Index generally produced mildly positive returns during the reporting period amid fluctuating interest rates, changing supply-and-demand dynamics, and political uncertainty. The fund lagged its benchmark, mainly due to its relatively long average duration during times when interest rates climbed.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks the maximum amount of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowing for investment purposes, in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal income tax.

The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds rated A or higher, or the unrated equivalent as determined by The Dreyfus Corporation (“Dreyfus”). The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below A, including bonds rated below investment grade (“high yield” or “junk” bonds) or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. The dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio generally is between 3 and 10 years.

We focus on identifying undervalued sectors and securities, and we minimize the use of interest-rate forecasting. We select municipal bonds by using fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various sectors and securities and to exploit pricing inefficiencies in the municipal bond market. We actively trade among various sectors, such as pre-refunded, general obligation, and revenue, based on their apparent relative values.

Political and Economic Factors Weighed on Municipal Bonds

The reporting period began on a positive note amid rebounding commodity prices, subdued inflationary pressures, and indications that the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) would delay expected short-term rate hikes. Income-oriented investors reached for competitive after-tax yields in the low-interest-rate environment, driving municipal bond prices higher.

The rally ended later in the summer of 2016 when issuers came to market with a flood of new municipal securities. Market declines accelerated in November after the unexpected election of a new presidential administration, which sparked uncertainty regarding potential changes in tax policy. Moreover, rate hikes from the Fed in December 2016 and March 2017 put upward pressure on bond yields and downward pressure on prices. However, municipal bonds recouped previous losses over the first five months of 2017 as supply-and-demand imbalances moderated and investors recognized that tax reform will take time and political capital to enact.

Although growth in tax revenues has slowed, and several states are facing pressure from underfunded pension systems, credit conditions have remained stable for most municipal bond issuers.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Long Duration Posture Dampened Fund Results

The fund’s performance compared to the Index during the reporting period was undermined to a degree by its interest-rate strategies. A relatively long average duration and an emphasis on municipal bonds with maturities in the 8- to 10-year range proved supportive during market rallies, but the same positioning made the fund more sensitive to rising interest rates during the fall of 2016.

Our sector allocation and security selection strategies produced better relative results. An emphasis on higher-yielding revenue-backed bonds and a correspondingly underweighted position in lower-yielding general obligation bonds enabled the fund to maintain a yield advantage over the Index. The fund achieved particularly favorable contributions from revenue bonds backed by airports, hospitals, and the states’ settlement of litigation with U.S. tobacco companies. The fund further benefited from lack of exposure to distressed Puerto Rico securities. These positions more than offset relatively weak results from municipal bonds backed by revenues from education facilities, special taxes, and essential municipal services, such as public power plants and water-and-sewer facilities.

Positioned for a Constructive Market Environment

The municipal bond market recently has shown signs of renewed strength. Investors who may have overreacted to the tax implications of the presidential election appear to have adopted a more balanced perspective. In addition, municipal bonds currently offer higher after-tax yields than U.S. Treasury securities with comparable maturities, and historically they have proved less sensitive to rising short-term interest rates.

As of the end of the reporting period, we have maintained the fund’s emphasis on higher-yielding revenue-backed bonds. We also have retained relatively light exposure to general obligation bonds, which typically offer lower yields. We have continued to set the fund’s average duration in a modestly long position.

June 15, 2017

Bonds are subject generally to interest-rate, credit, liquidity, and market risks, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes, and rate increases can cause price declines.

High yield bonds are subject to increased credit risk and are considered speculative in terms of the issuer’s perceived ability to continue making interest payments on a timely basis and to repay principal upon maturity.

¹ Total return includes reinvestment of dividends. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield, and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income may be subject to state and local taxes, and some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable.

FUND PERFORMANCE

Comparison of change in value of $10,000 investment in Dreyfus Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond: 7 Year Index (6-8) (the “Index”)

Average Annual Total Returns as of 5/31/17
	1 Year	5 Years	10 Years
Fund	1.22%	2.75%	3.97%
Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 7-Year Index	1.78%	2.82%	4.75%

Past performance is not predictive of future performance. The fund’s performance shown in the graph and table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Dreyfus Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. on 5/31/07 to a $10,000 investment made in the Index on that date. All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

The fund invests primarily in municipal securities and maintains a portfolio with a weighted average maturity ranging between 3 and 10 years. The fund’s performance shown in the line graph above takes into account fees and expenses. The Index, unlike the fund, covers the USD-denominated 6-8 year tax-exempt bond market. These factors can contribute to the Index potentially outperforming or underperforming the fund. Unlike a mutual fund, the Index is not subject to charges, fees and other expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in any index. Further information relating to fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to seek the maximum amount of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fundenters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.

26

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted 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 the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Service is engaged under the general supervision of the Board.

When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that

27

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.

For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2017in valuing the fund’s investments:

	Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices	Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs	Level 3 -Significant Unobservable Inputs	Total
Assets ($)
Investments in Securities:
Municipal Bonds†	-	721,326,414	1,350,030	722,676,444

^†See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

At May 31, 2017, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

	Municipal Bonds ($)
Balance as of 5/31/2016	899,970
Realized gain (loss)	-
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	450,060
Purchases	-
Sales	-
Transfer into Level 3	-
Transfer out of Level 3	-
Balance as of 5/31/2017	1,350,030
The amount of total gains (losses) for the period included in earnings attributable to the change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to investments still held at 5/31/2017	450,060

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

28

(c) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax-exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended May 31, 2017, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended May 31, 2017, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended May 31, 2017 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At May 31, 2017, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed tax-exempt income $740,312, undistributed ordinary income $86,619, undistributed capital gains $4,425,013 and unrealized appreciation $34,538,134.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended May 31, 2017 and May 31, 2016 were as follows: tax-exempt income $18,567,368 and $20,119,677, ordinary income $598,094 and $152,978, and long-term capital gains $7,401,642 and $5,184,972, respectively.

During the period ended May 31, 2017, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for amortization adjustments, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $181,923, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $164,218 and increased paid-in capital by $17,705. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in an $810 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Prior to October 5, 2016, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $555 million. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended May 31, 2017, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with Dreyfus, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .60% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund reimburses the Distributor at an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. During the period ended May 31, 2017, the fund was charged $308,976 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund has arrangements with the transfer agent and the custodian whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agency and custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, under a transfer agency agreement for providing transfer agency and cash management services for the fund. The majority of transfer agency fees are comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis, while cash management fees are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended May 31, 2017, the fund was charged $184,502 for transfer agency services and $11,323 for cash management services. These fees are included in Shareholder servicing costs in the

30

Statement of Operations. Cash management fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $8,394.

The fund compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund. These fees are determined based on net assets, geographic region and transaction activity. During the period ended May 31, 2017, the fund was charged $42,679 pursuant to the custody agreement.

The fund compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a shareholder redemption draft processing agreement for providing certain services related to the fund’s check writing privilege. During the period ended May 31, 2017, the fund was charged $7,705 pursuant to the agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.

During the period ended May 31, 2017, the fund was charged $11,454 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer and his staff.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $370,813, Shareholder Services Plan fees $32,000, custodian fees $12,243, Chief Compliance Officer fees $4,826 and transfer agency fees $32,444.

(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended May 31, 2017, amounted to $108,251,662 and $146,517,848, respectively.

At May 31, 2017, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $688,138,310; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $34,538,134, consisting of $37,730,121 gross unrealized appreciation and $3,191,987 gross unrealized depreciation.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and others. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. at May 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
