This return compares very favorably with the 0.38% average return of the 131 funds in Lipper's "Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds" category, ranking the fund in the top 10% of the Lipper peers. Tax-Free Money Market also ranks in the top 10% for the 5-year period, and in the top 14% for the 10-year period ended May 31 (see the previous page for performance numbers). ECONOMIC & MARKET REVIEW After falling sharply early in the fiscal year, municipal money market yields rose overall for the rest of the period. Later in the period, the economy picked up steam, job growth surged, and inflation began to increase. The rate of U.S. economic growth spiked to 8.2% in the third quarter of 2003, then ran at a very average 4% rate during the next two quarters. With the economy finding its feet, companies began hiring--an estimated 947,000 jobs were added from March through May 2004. This spurt in job growth, plus a sharp rise in core consumer prices, bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve (The Fed) would raise interest rates as early as June. (The Fed did, in fact, raise rates on June 30th.) PORTFOLIO STRATEGY Tax-Free Money Market's 7-day current yield averaged 0.64% during the fiscal year, finishing at 0.71% on May 31. Tax-Free Money Market's WAM (weighted average maturity) averaged 39 days during the period, ending at 35 days on May 31. The majority of the portfolio's holdings remained in variable rate demand notes (VRDNs)--very short-term, floating-rate municipal notes, whose yields in recent years have been competitive with those on one-year muni notes. The advantage of VRDNs is that when rates are rising, their short maturities allow us to move quickly into higher-yielding securities, giving Tax-Free Money Market's yield a boost. We increased the portfolio's VRDNs from 79% in February to 86% in March, until they reached 87% in April. We did this to take advantage of rising yields that typically occur around tax time--as demand for muni money market securities falls, rates rise. We were well positioned to take advantage of this situation. We also kept an eye out for attractive deals on longer-term securities to boost yields--for example, early in May we bought some North Carolina COPs (Certificates of Participation) with attractive yields, maturing in June of 2005. LOOKING AHEAD With the economy picking up steam, the Federal Reserve is widely expected to raise interest rates at least several more times before the end of the year. Since the markets have already priced in the anticipation of at least 100 basis points of higher rates by year's end, we will look to add some longer-term notes or bonds to offset the floaters which are the portfolio's mainstay. We currently plan to keep the bulk of assets in VRDNs, so Tax-Free Money Market should be positioned to take swift advantage of rising interest rates looming on the horizon. ------ 3 Tax-Free Money Market - Schedule of Investments MAY 31, 2004 Principal Amount ($ IN THOUSANDS) Value -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MUNICIPAL SECURITIES -- 100.0% ALABAMA -- 2.6% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $2,900 Anniston Industrial Development Board Rev., (Hunjan Moulded Products Ltd.), VRDN, 1.31%, 6/3/04 (LOC: AmSouth Bank) $ 2,900 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4,200 Brundidge Combined Utilities Rev., Series 2002 A, VRDN, 1.26%, 6/3/04 (LOC: SouthTrust Bank N.A.) 4,200 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7,100 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARIZONA -- 1.3% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3,500 Pinal County Industrial Development Auth.

Tax-Free Bond - Portfolio Commentary

BY KENNETH SALINGER, PORTFOLIO MANAGER

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Tax-Free Bond returned -0.79%* for the 12 months ended May 31, 2004. By
comparison, the average return of the 149 Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds
tracked by Lipper Inc. was -0.70%. (See the previous page for additional
details.)

During the majority of the performance period, we emphasized strategies
that we believed would hold up well in light of our expectations for bond
yields to rise as the U.S. economy improved. Although we were right on the
money with regard to economic improvements, we weren't quite as accurate
when it came to forecasting when the rise in bond yields would occur.

Since we're after long-term results, however, we maintained Tax-Free Bond's
positioning and expect our employed strategies to pay off in the times ahead.
From a long-term results standpoint, Tax-Free Bond ranked among the top 25% or
better of its Lipper peer group for the five- and 10-year periods ended May 31,
2004.

ECONOMIC BACKDROP

Turning to the U.S. economy, growth (as measured by seasonally adjusted real
gross domestic product) surged to an 8.2% annualized pace during the third
quarter of 2003, marking the fastest three-month rate in almost two decades.
Activity moderated thereafter but nevertheless finished the first quarter of
2004 at 3.9%.

In addition, labor-market conditions improved, providing what had previously
been a key missing ingredient. Upbeat monthly employment reports, specifically
for March and April, helped to underscore that notion and drive up expectations
for better economic times ahead.

On the inflation front, prices rose from well-behaved levels. As measured by the
consumer price index for all urban consumers (and excluding food and energy
components), inflation increased at a 2.9% seasonally adjusted annual rate for
the first five months of 2004, compared with a very modest 1.1% for all of 2003

INTEREST RATE AND MARKET BACKDROP

As the economy and labor market improved, the outlook for short-term interest
rates switched directions. In June 2003, the Federal Reserve reduced its main
interest rate benchmark to a better than four-decade low of 1.0%. In subsequent
post-meeting statements, the Fed drummed up expectations that short-term
interest rates could be maintained at such levels for the near future, which
helped municipal bond yields to trend generally lower before bottoming in
mid-March 2004.

Tax-Free Bond - Portfolio Commentary


Bond prices fell and yields rose sharply after that, however, thanks in part to
Fed comments about the eventual need for higher interest rates in light of the
improved economic backdrop and job-producing labor market.

The net result for the 12 months was that municipal bond prices fell across
the board, with yields on bonds maturing in four and five years generally
increasing the most and by as much as 100 basis points (1.00%).

Falling prices and rising yields translated into a lackluster performance from a
return standpoint; the Lehman Brothers Municipal 5-Year GO Index returned -0.22%
for the fiscal year, compared with its 10-year average annual return of 5.48%

PORTFOLIO STRATEGIES

With that backdrop in mind, we employed several strategies that we felt would
boost performance. First, we occasionally established what we believed to be a
conservatively low sensitivity to interest rates. That generally helped to limit
losses when bond yields rose, but dampened gains when yields fell.

In addition, we continued to emphasize bonds rated AAA and AA. As shown in the
Portfolio Composition by Credit Rating table at top right, 85% of the portfolio
was in such securities both six months ago and at the end of May.

Lastly, we looked for what we believed were attractive opportunities based on
supply and demand fluctuations within and between the various states. Over the
last six months, part of the net effect of that strategy was to increase the
portfolio's exposure to Arizona bonds and to decrease its exposure to bonds from
states such as California and Washington.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION -- American Century Municipal Trust (the trust), is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end
management investment company. Tax-Free Money Market Fund (Tax-Free Money
Market) and Tax-Free Bond Fund (Tax-Free Bond) (collectively, the funds) are two
funds in a series issued by the trust. The funds are diversified under the 1940
Act. The funds' investment objective is to seek safety of principal and high
current income that is exempt from federal income tax. Tax-Free Money Market
invests primarily in cash-equivalent, high-quality municipal obligations.
Tax-Free Bond invests primarily in high-quality municipal obligations. The
following is a summary of the funds' significant accounting policies.

MULTIPLE CLASS -- Tax-Free Money Market is authorized to issue the Investor
Class. Tax-Free Bond is authorized to issue the Investor Class and the
Institutional Class. The share classes differ principally in their respective
shareholder servicing and distribution expenses and arrangements. All shares of
each fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the assets of the class to
which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and
other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific
expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual
classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized
capital gains and losses of the funds are allocated to each class of shares
based on their relative net assets.

SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities of Tax-Free Money Market are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates current market value. Securities of Tax-Free
Bond are valued at current market value as provided by a commercial pricing
service or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Debt securities
maturing within 60 days may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized
discount or premium. When valuations are not readily available, securities are
valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the
Board of Trustees if such fair value determination would materially impact a
fund's net asset value. Valuations may not be readily available if, for example:
an event occurred after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security
principally trades (but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange) that
was likely to have changed the value of the security; a security has been
declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading
day; or the demand for the security (as reflected by its trading volume) is
insufficient for quoted prices to be reliable.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS -- Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade
date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis,
which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

INVESTMENT INCOME -- Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and
includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD COMMITMENTS -- The funds may engage in securities
transactions on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Under these
arrangements, the securities' prices and yields are fixed on the date of the
commitment, but payment and delivery are scheduled for a future date. During
this period, securities are subject to market fluctuations. The funds will
segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on their
records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.

FUTURES CONTRACTS -- Tax-Free Bond may enter into futures contracts in order to
manage the fund's exposure to changes in market conditions. One of the risks of
entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of
the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying
securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to
deposit either cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of
the contract value (initial margin). Subsequent payments (variation margin) are
made or received daily, in cash, by the fund. The variation margin is equal to
the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and
losses. The fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed
or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the
holding period of futures contracts are a component of realized gain (loss) on
investment transactions and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on
investments, respectively.

INCOME TAX STATUS -- It is each fund's policy to distribute substantially all
net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise
qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state
income taxes.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions from net investment income are
declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any,
are generally declared and paid annually. Tax-Free Money Market does not expect
to realize any long-term capital gains, and accordingly, does not expect to pay
any capital gains distributions.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

USE OF ESTIMATES -- The financial statements are prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of
the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

MANAGEMENT FEES -- The trust has entered into a Management Agreement with
American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM), under which ACIM provides
the funds with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a
single, unified management fee per class. The Agreement provides that all
expenses of the funds, except brokerage commissions, taxes, portfolio insurance,
interest, fees and expenses of those trustees who are not considered "interested
persons" as defined in the 1940 Act (including counsel fees) and extraordinary
expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed daily and paid monthly in
arrears. It consists of an Investment Category Fee based on the average net
assets of the funds in a specific fund's investment category and a Complex Fee
based on the average net assets of all the funds managed by ACIM. The rates for
the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1570% to 0.2700% for Tax-Free Money
Market. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1625% to 0.2800%
for Tax-Free Bond. Rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2900% to 0.3100% for
the Investor Class. The Institutional Class is 0.2000% less at each point within
the Complex Fee Range. For the year ended May 31, 2004, the effective annual
management fee for the Investor Class of Tax-Free Money Market and Tax-Free Bond
was 0.49% and 0.50%, respectively. For the year ended May 31, 2004, the
effective annual management fee for the Institutional Class of Tax-Free Bond was
0.30%.

MONEY MARKET INSURANCE -- Tax-Free Money Market, along with other money market
funds managed by ACIM, has entered into an insurance agreement with MBIA
Insurance Corporation (MBIA). MBIA provides limited coverage for certain loss
events including issuer defaults as to payment of principal or interest and
insolvency of a credit enhancement provider. Tax-Free Money Market pays annual
premiums equal to 0.018% to MBIA based on participating money market funds'
market value at January 31, 2004. The premiums are amortized daily over one
year.

RELATED PARTIES -- Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers
and/or directors, and, as a group, controlling stockholders of American Century
Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent of the trust's investment manager, ACIM, the
distributor of the trust, American Century Investment Services, Inc., and the
trust's transfer agent, American Century Services Corporation.

Tax-Free Bond has a bank line of credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank
(JPMCB). JPMCB is a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM).
JPM is an equity investor in ACC.

3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investment securities for Tax-Free Bond, excluding
short-term investments, for the year ended May 31, 2004, were $366,055 and
$357,249, respectively. All investment transactions for Tax-Free Money Market
were considered short-term during the year ended May 31, 2004.

(1) April 15, 2003 (commencement of sale) through May 31, 2003 for Tax-Free
    Bond.

5. BANK LINE OF CREDIT

Tax-Free Bond, along with certain other funds managed by ACIM, has a $650
million unsecured bank line of credit agreement with JPMCB. The fund may borrow
money for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions.
Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus
0.50%. The fund did not borrow from the line during the year ended May 31, 2004.

6. RISK FACTORS

The funds may concentrate their investments in certain states and therefore may
have more exposure to credit risk related to those states than a fund with a
broader geographical diversification. Income may be subject to state and local
taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax.

7. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended May 31, 2004 and
May 31, 2003 were as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET          TAX-FREE BOND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              2004       2003           2004          2003
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ordinary income              $1,684     $2,764         $21,503      $18,853
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-term capital gains          --         --            $609         $859
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income
or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for
federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character
of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial
statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain
capital accounts on the financial statements.

As of May 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis and
the federal tax cost of investments were as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                   TAX-FREE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was the same as the cost
for financial reporting purposes.

The accumulated capital losses listed above represent net capital loss

On September 3, 2002 Tax-Free Bond acquired all of the net assets of
Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund (Limited-Term), another fund previously issued by the
trust, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the acquired fund's
shareholders on August 2, 2002. Tax-Free Bond is the surviving fund for the
purposes of maintaining the financial statements and performance history in the
post-reorganization. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of
4,690 shares of Tax-Free Bond for 4,892 shares of Limited-Term, outstanding on
September 3, 2002. The net assets of Tax-Free Bond and Limited-Term immediately
before the acquisition were $454,253 and $51,094, respectively. Limited-Term
unrealized appreciation of $1,699 was combined with that of Tax-Free Bond.
Immediately after the acquisition, the combined net assets were $505,347.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of the American Century Municipal Trust and Shareholders of the
American Century Tax-Free Money Market Fund and the American Century Tax-Free
Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the American Century Tax-Free Money
Market Fund and the American Century Tax-Free Bond Fund (two of the five funds
in the American Century Municipal Trust hereafter referred to as the "Funds") at
May 31, 2004, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the
changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then
ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred
to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31, 2004 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

Management

The individuals listed below serve as trustees or officers of the funds. Each
trustee serves until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until
he or she retires. Effective March 2004, mandatory retirement age for
independent trustees is 73. However, the mandatory retirement age may be
extended for a period not to exceed two years with the approval of the remaining
independent trustees. The independent trustees have extended the mandatory
retirement age of Mr. Eisenstat to 75. Mr. Scott may serve until age 77, based
on an extension granted under retirement guidelines in effect prior to March
2004. Those listed as interested trustees are "interested" primarily by virtue
of their engagement as officers of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC) or its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the funds' investment advisor, American
Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM); the funds' principal underwriter,
American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS); and the funds' transfer
agent, American Century Services Corporation (ACSC).

The other trustees (more than three-fourths of the total number) are
independent; that is, they are not employees or officers of, and have no
financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including
ACIM, ACIS, and ACSC. The trustees serve in this capacity for eight registered
investment companies in the American Century family of funds.

All persons named as officers of the funds also serve in similar capacities for
the other 12 investment companies advised by ACIM, unless otherwise noted. Only
officers with policy-making functions are listed. No officer is compensated for
his or her service as an officer of the funds. The listed officers are
interested persons of the funds and are appointed or re-appointed on an annual
basis.

Share Class Information

One class of shares is authorized for sale by Tax-Free Money Market: Investor
Class. Two classes of shares are authorized for sale by Tax-Free Bond: Investor
Class and Institutional Class. The total expense ratio for Institutional Class
shares is lower than that of Investor Class shares.

INVESTOR CLASS shares are available for purchase in two ways: 1) directly from
American Century without any commissions or other fees; or 2) through a
broker-dealer, which may require payment of a transaction fee to the broker.

INSTITUTIONAL CLASS shares are available to large investors such as endowments,
foundations, and retirement plans, and to financial intermediaries serving these
investors. This class recognizes the relatively lower cost of serving
institutional customers and others who invest at least $5 million ($3 million
for endowments and foundations) in an American Century fund or at least $10
million in multiple funds. In recognition of the larger investments and account
balances and comparatively lower transaction costs, the total expense ratio of
Institutional Class shares is 0.20% less than the total expense ratio of
Investor Class shares.

All classes of shares represent a pro rata interest in the funds and generally
have the same rights and preferences.

INDEX DEFINITION

The following index is used to illustrate investment market, sector, or style
performance or to serve as a fund performance comparison. It is not an
investment product available for purchase.

The LEHMAN BROTHERS MUNICIPAL 5-YEAR GENERAL OBLIGATION (GO) INDEX is composed
of investment-grade U.S. municipal securities, with maturities of four to six
years, that are general obligations of a state or local government.

RISK FACTORS

The funds may concentrate their investments in certain states and therefore may
have more exposure to credit risk related to those states than a fund with a
broader geographical diversification. Income may be subject to state and local
taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax.

Arizona Municipal Bond - Portfolio Commentary

BY KENNETH SALINGER, PORTFOLIO MANAGER

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Arizona Municipal Bond returned -1.06%* for the 12 months ended May 31, 2004. By
comparison, the average return of the 115 Other States Intermediate Municipal
Debt Funds tracked by Lipper Inc. was -1.07%. (See page 2 for additional
details.)

During the majority of the performance period, we emphasized strategies that we
believed would hold up well in light of our expectations for bond yields to rise
as the U.S. economy improved. Although we were right on the money with regard to
economic improvements, we weren't quite as accurate when it came to forecasting
when the rise in bond yields would occur.

Since we're after long-term results, however, we maintained Arizona Municipal
Bond's defensive positioning and that choice began to pay off during the last
six months. From a long-term results standpoint, Arizona Municipal Bond finished
among the top 5% of its Lipper peer group for the five- and 10-year periods
ended May 31, 2004.

ECONOMIC BACKDROP

Turning to the U.S. economy, growth (as measured by seasonally adjusted real
gross domestic product) surged to an 8.2% annualized pace during the third
quarter of 2003, marking the fastest three-month rate in almost two decades.
Activity moderated thereafter but nevertheless finished the first quarter of
2004 at 3.9%.

In addition, labor-market conditions improved, providing what had previously
been a key missing ingredient. Upbeat monthly employment reports, specifically
for March and April, helped to underscore that notion and drive up expectations
for better economic times ahead.

On the inflation front, prices rose from well-behaved levels. As measured by the
consumer price index for all urban consumers (and excluding food and energy
components), inflation increased at a 2.9% seasonally adjusted annual rate for
the first five months of 2004, compared with a very modest 1.1% for all of 2003.

Arizona Municipal Bond - Portfolio Commentary

INTEREST RATE AND MARKET BACKDROP

As the economy and labor market improved, the outlook for short-term interest
rates switched directions. In June 2003, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) reduced
its main interest rate benchmark to a better than four-decade low of 1.0%. In
subsequent post-meeting statements, the Fed drummed up expectations that
short-term interest rates could be maintained at such levels for the near
future, which helped municipal bond yields to trend generally lower before
bottoming in mid-March 2004.

Bond yields rose sharply after that, however, thanks in part to Fed comments
about the eventual need for higher interest rates in light of the improved
economic backdrop and job-producing labor market.

The net result for the 12 months was that municipal bond prices fell across the
board, with yields on bonds maturing in four and five years generally increasing
the most and by as much as 100 basis points (1.00%).

Falling prices translated into a lackluster performance from a return
standpoint; the Lehman Brothers Municipal 5-Year GO Index returned -0.22% for
the fiscal year, compared with its 10-year average annual return of 5.48%.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGIES

We employed several strategies to accomplish the portfolio's defensive
positioning. To begin with, we emphasized a bond maturity structure that we
thought would perform well if the yield gap between short- and long-term bonds
decreases. We believe such an outcome to be a possibility if the Fed starts
raising short-term interest rates and inflation concerns ease.

In addition, we continued to focus on bonds rated AAA and AA. As shown in the
Portfolio Composition by Credit Rating table at bottom left, such securities
represented 82% of the portfolio at the end of May, compared with 81% six months
ago.

Finally, we occasionally established what we believed to be a conservatively low
sensitivity to interest rates. That generally limited losses when bond yields
rose, but dampened gains when yields fell.

Florida Municipal Bond - Portfolio Commentary

BY KENNETH SALINGER, PORTFOLIO MANAGER

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Florida Municipal Bond returned -1.30%* for the 12 months ended May 31, 2004. By
comparison, the average return of the 19 Florida Intermediate Municipal Debt
Funds tracked by Lipper Inc. was -1.44%. (See page 8 for additional details.)

During the majority of the performance period, we emphasized strategies that we
believed would hold up well in light of our expectations for bond yields to rise
as the U.S. economy improved. Although we were right on the money with regard to
economic improvements, we weren't quite as accurate when it came to forecasting
when the rise in bond yields would occur.

Since we're after long-term results, however, we maintained Florida Municipal
Bond's defensive positioning and expect our employed strategies to pay off in
the times ahead. From a long-term results standpoint, Florida Municipal Bond
finished with a #1 ranking in its Lipper peer group for the five- and 10-year
periods ended May 31, 2004.

ECONOMIC BACKDROP

Turning to the U.S. economy, growth (as measured by seasonally adjusted real
gross domestic product) surged to an 8.2% annualized pace during the third
quarter of 2003, marking the fastest three-month rate in almost two decades.
Activity moderated thereafter but nevertheless finished the first quarter of
2004 at 3.9%.

In addition, labor-market conditions improved, providing what had previously
been a key missing ingredient. Upbeat monthly employment reports, specifically
for March and April, helped to underscore that notion and drive up expectations
for better economic times ahead.

On the inflation front, prices rose from well-behaved levels. As measured by the
consumer price index for all urban consumers (and excluding food and energy
components), inflation increased at a 2.9% seasonally adjusted annual rate for
the first five months of 2004, compared with a very modest 1.1% for all of 2003.

Florida Municipal Bond - Portfolio Commentary

INTEREST RATE AND MARKET BACKDROP

As the economy and labor market improved, the outlook for short-term interest
rates switched directions. In June 2003, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) reduced
its main interest rate benchmark to a better than four-decade low of 1.0%. In
subsequent post-meeting statements, the Fed drummed up expectations that
short-term interest rates could be maintained at such levels for the near
future, which helped municipal bond yields to trend generally lower before
bottoming in mid-March 2004.

Bond yields rose sharply after that, however, thanks in part to Fed comments
about the eventual need for higher interest rates in light of the improved
economic backdrop and job-producing labor market.

The net result for the 12 months was that municipal bond prices fell across the
board, with yields on bonds maturing in four and five years generally increasing
the most and by as much as 100 basis points (1.00%).

Falling prices translated into a lackluster performance from a return
standpoint; the Lehman Brothers Municipal 5-Year GO Index returned -0.22% for
the fiscal year, compared with its 10-year average annual return of 5.48%.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGIES

Turning to portfolio strategies, we employed several defensive techniques. For
starters, we occasionally established what we believed to be a conservatively
low sensitivity to interest rates. That generally limited losses when bond
yields rose, but dampened gains when yields fell.

We also continued to concentrate the portfolio in bonds rated AAA and AA. As
demonstrated by the Portfolio Composition by Credit Rating table at bottom left,
such securities represented 82% of the portfolio at the end of May.

Lastly, we emphasized a bond maturity structure that we thought would perform
well if the yield gap between short- and long-term bonds decreases. We believe
such an outcome to be a possibility if the Fed starts raising short-term
interest rates and inflation concerns ease.

That compares favorably with the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Municipal Bond Index, which declined 0.26%. The index reflects the performance of investment-grade municipal bonds, which tend to underperform high-yield municipals when interest rates rise. The fund's fiscal year return closely mirrored its Lipper peer group's average (see page 15). The fund lagged the peer group during the first half of the period when tax-exempt airline bonds (owned by other high-yield municipal portfolios but not ours) outperformed, but we made up most of the difference when airline bonds underperformed more recently. High-Yield Municipal continued to distinguish itself over longer time frames, outperforming the peer group for the five-year and since-inception periods ended May 31, 2004, and ranking in the top 10% of those peer groups. YIELD SUMMARY & PERSPECTIVE Our investment objective is to seek high current income that is exempt from federal income tax. As of May 31, 2004, we'd invested 73% of the portfolio in municipal debt that was below investment-grade (either with credit ratings below BBB or unrated but determined by us to be of equivalent quality). These bonds offer higher yields as compensation for their perceived risk. As of May 31, 2004, the fund's 30-day SEC yield was 4.97%,* offering a 7.65% 30-day tax-equivalent yield for investors in the 35% federal tax bracket. The fund's 30-day SEC yield rose during the fiscal year--on May 31, 2003, the yield was 4.86%. Municipal yields generally increased during the period. ECONOMIC & MARKET PERSPECTIVE Municipal bond yields rose during the fiscal year as economic and job growth surged, inflation increased, and the market anticipated interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Economic growth, as measured by GDP, spiked to 8.2% annualized in the third quarter of 2003, then settled near 4% for the next two quarters. That helped trigger a surge in job growth in the spring of 2004 (an PORTFOLIO AT A GLANCE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AS OF AS OF 5/31/04 5/31/03 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted Average Maturity 18.4 yrs 19.1 yrs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Duration (Modified) 7.0 yrs 6.2 yrs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YIELDS AS OF MAY 31, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30-DAY SEC YIELD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class 4.97% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Class 4.51% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B Class 3.97% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C Class 3.97% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTOR CLASS 30-DAY TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELDS(1) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25.00% Tax Bracket 6.63% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 28.00% Tax Bracket 6.90% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 33.00% Tax Bracket 7.42% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 35.00% Tax Bracket 7.65% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) The tax brackets indicated are for federal taxes only.

(continued) ------ 17 High-Yield Municipal - Portfolio Commentary estimated 912,000 jobs were added in the three months ended May 2004) along with a sharp rise in core consumer prices. The jumps in job growth and core inflation helped create expectations that the Federal Reserve would start raising its overnight interest rate target as early as June 30, 2004. The broad U.S. bond market mostly suffered price declines for the period, but conditions were relatively favorable for high-yield municipals. For example, in the one-month ended April 30, 2004, the 10-year Treasury note and the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Municipal Bond Index declined sharply, falling 4.83% and 3.15%, respectively, while High-Yield Municipal and its Lipper group average dipped just 1.05% and 1.43%, respectively. PORTFOLIO POSITIONING & STRATEGY We employ techniques designed to realize capital appreciation as well as income. Much of the appreciation potential resides in land-secured bonds, which represented the portfolio's largest sector position at the beginning, middle, and end of the fiscal year. Land-secured bonds finance real estate development projects and are typically backed by property tax revenues. Land-secured investments have potential for price appreciation as economic conditions improve and/or the projects are developed and their finances solidify. A land-secured bond that finances a housing development, for example, starts out as a sole obligation of the developer, but is eventually backed by the pool of new homeowners, diversifying the credit risk. In addition to our other strategies, we continued to focus on the thorough credit reviews and careful security selection that are the foundations of our approach. We believe our process reduces the risks of potential downgrades and defaults inherent to the high-yield sector; there have been no defaults in the portfolio since the fund's inception. Along those lines, we've limited our exposure to tobacco bonds and held no airline bonds as of May 31, 2004, two sectors that have been volatile in 2004.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION -- American Century Municipal Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. Arizona Municipal Bond Fund (Arizona Municipal), Florida Municipal Bond Fund (Florida Municipal) and High-Yield Municipal Fund (High-Yield Municipal) (collectively, the funds) are three funds in a series issued by the trust. The funds are non-diversified under the 1940 Act. Arizona Municipal's investment objective is to seek safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal income tax and taxes imposed by the state of Arizona. Florida Municipal's investment objective is to seek safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal income tax and taxes imposed by the state of Florida. Arizona Municipal and Florida Municipal invest primarily in Arizona and Florida municipal obligations, respectively. High-Yield Municipal's investment objective is to seek high current income exempt from federal income taxes. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective. High-Yield Municipal invests primarily in lower-rated long-term and intermediate-term municipal obligations, which are subject to greater credit risk and consequently offer higher yields. The following is a summary of the funds' significant accounting policies. MULTIPLE CLASS -- The funds are authorized to issue the Investor Class, the A Class, the B Class and the C Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class, B Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and shareholder servicing and distribution expenses and arrangements. All shares of the funds represent an equal pro rata interest in the assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the funds are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets. Arizona Municipal and Florida Municipal's A Class, B Class and C Class commenced on February 27, 2004, at which time the Investor Class was no longer available to new investors. High-Yield Municipal A Class and B Class commenced on January 31, 2003, at which time the Investor Class was no longer available to new investors. High-Yield Municipal C Class commenced on July 24, 2002. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities are valued through a commercial pricing service or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Debt securities maturing within 60 days may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium. When valuations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees if such fair value determination would materially impact a fund's net asset value. Valuations may not be readily available if, for example: an event occurred after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security principally trades (but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange) that was likely to have changed the value of the security; a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or the demand for the security (as reflected by its trading volume) is insufficient for quoted prices to be reliable. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS -- Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes. INVESTMENT INCOME -- Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD COMMITMENTS -- The funds may engage in securities transactions on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Under these arrangements, the securities' prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment, but payment and delivery are scheduled for a future date. During this period, securities are subject to market fluctuations. The funds will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price. INCOME TAX STATUS -- It is each fund's policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually. USE OF ESTIMATES -- The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. (continued) ------ 27 Notes to Financial Statements MAY 31, 2004 2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES MANAGEMENT FEES -- The trust has entered into a Management Agreement with American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM), under which ACIM provides the funds with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee per class. The Agreement provides that all expenses of the funds, except brokerage commissions, taxes, portfolio insurance, interest, fees and expenses of those trustees who are not considered "interested persons" as defined in the 1940 Act (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed daily and paid monthly in arrears. It consists of an Investment Category Fee based on the average net assets of the funds in a specific fund's investment category and a Complex Fee based on the average net assets of all the funds managed by ACIM. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1625% to 0.2800% for Arizona Municipal and Florida Municipal and from 0.2925% to 0.4100% for High-Yield Municipal. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2900% to 0.3100%. For the year ended May 31, 2004, the effective annual management fee for the Investor, A, B and C Classes of Arizona Municipal, Florida Municipal and High-Yield Municipal were 0.50%, 0.50% and 0.63%, respectively. DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES -- The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, B Class and C Class (collectively, the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act.

This increase was approved by High-Yield Municipal C Class shareholders on November 21, 2003. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The fees are computed daily and paid monthly in arrears based on each class's average daily closing net assets during the previous month. The distribution fee provides compensation for expenses incurred in connection with distributing shares of the classes including, but not limited to, payments to brokers, dealers, and financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with respect to shares of the funds. The service fee provides compensation for individual shareholder services rendered by broker/dealers or other independent financial intermediaries. Fees incurred under the plans during the year ended May 31, 2004, are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

BANK LINE OF CREDIT The funds, along with certain other funds managed by ACIM, have a $650,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with JPMCB. The funds may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The funds did not borrow from the line during the year ended May 31, 2004. 6. RISK FACTORS Arizona Municipal and Florida Municipal concentrate their investments in a single state and therefore may have more exposure to credit risk related to the state of Arizona and Florida, respectively, than a fund with a broader geographical diversification. Income may be subject to state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. High-Yield Municipal may concentrate its investments in certain states and therefore may have more exposure to credit risk related to those states than a fund with a broader geographical diversification. High-Yield Municipal invests primarily in lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including price volatility, liquidity risk, and default risk. Income may be subject to state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. 7. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION The tax character of distributions paid during the years May 31, 2004 and May 31, 2003 were as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ARIZONA MUNICIPAL FLORIDA MUNICIPAL HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2004 2003 2004 2003 2004 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ordinary income $2,710,226 $3,114,068 $2,627,402 $2,810,518 $3,730,694 $2,359,756 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Long-term capital gains $1,621 $24,317 $3,596 $2,366 -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (continued) ------ 31 Notes to Financial Statements MAY 31, 2004 7. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (CONTINUED) The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. As of May 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis and the federal tax cost of investments were as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARIZONA FLORIDA HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL MUNICIPAL MUNICIPAL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPONENTS OF DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS AND TAX COST -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal tax cost of investments $58,776,136 $61,087,568 $101,575,275 ================================================================================ Gross tax appreciation of investments $2,257,599 $1,914,272 $2,004,551 ---------------------------------- Gross tax depreciation of investments (266,308) (308,963) (506,886) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net tax appreciation of investments $1,991,291 $1,605,309 $1,497,665 ================================================================================ Accumulated long-term gains $12,258 -- -- ---------------------------------- Accumulated capital losses -- $(144,503) $(1,956,410) ---------------------------------- Capital loss deferral -- $(151,068) $(849,206) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes. The accumulated capital losses listed above represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers expire as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008 2009 2010 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Florida Municipal -- -- -- $(144,503) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- High-Yield Municipal $(396,804) $(1,090,034) $(323,643) $(145,929) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The capital loss deferrals represent net capital losses incurred in the seven-month period ended May 31, 2004. The funds have elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes. 8.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Kansas City, Missouri July 12, 2004 ------ 45 Management The individuals listed below serve as trustees or officers of the funds. Each trustee serves until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until he or she retires. Effective March 2004, mandatory retirement age for independent trustees is 73. However, the mandatory retirement age may be extended for a period not to exceed two years with the approval of the remaining independent trustees. The independent trustees have extended the mandatory retirement age of Mr. Eisenstat to 75. Mr. Scott may serve until age 77 based on an extension granted under retirement guidelines in effect prior to March 2004. Those listed as interested trustees are "interested" primarily by virtue of their engagement as officers of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC) or its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the funds' investment advisor, American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM); the funds' principal underwriter, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS); and the funds' transfer agent, American Century Services Corporation (ACSC). The other trustees (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent; that is, they are not employees or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including ACIM, ACIS, and ACSC. The trustees serve in this capacity for eight registered investment companies in the American Century family of funds. All persons named as officers of the funds also serve in similar capacities for the other 12 investment companies advised by ACIM, unless otherwise noted. Only officers with policy-making functions are listed. No officer is compensated for his or her service as an officer of the funds. The listed officers are interested persons of the funds and are appointed or re-appointed on an annual basis.

The total expense ratios of A Class, B Class, and C Class shares are higher than those of Investor Class shares. ON JANUARY 31, 2003, INVESTOR CLASS SHARES BECAME UNAVAILABLE TO NEW INVESTORS OF HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL. ON FEBRUARY 27, 2004, INVESTOR CLASS SHARES BECAME UNAVAILABLE TO NEW INVESTORS OF ARIZONA MUNCIPAL AND FLORIDA MUNICIPAL. INVESTOR CLASS shares are available for purchase by existing shareholders in two ways: 1) directly from American Century without any commissions or other fees; or 2) through a broker-dealer, which may require payment of a transaction fee to the broker. A CLASS shares are sold primarily through employer-sponsored retirement plans and through institutions such as investment advisors, banks, broker-dealers, and insurance companies. A Class shares are sold at their offering price, which is net asset value plus an initial sales charge that ranges from 4.50% to 0.00% for fixed-income funds and 5.75% to 0.00% for equity funds, depending on the amount invested. The initial sales charge is deducted from the purchase amount before it is invested. A Class shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). There is no CDSC on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains. The prospectus contains information regarding reductions and waivers of sales charges for A Class shares. A Class shares also are subject to a 0.25% annual Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fee. B CLASS shares are sold primarily through employer-sponsored retirement plans and through institutions such as investment advisors, banks, broker-dealers, and insurance companies. B Class shares redeemed within six years of purchase are subject to a CDSC that declines from 5.00% during the first year after purchase to 0.00% the sixth year after purchase. There is no CDSC on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains. B Class shares also are subject to a 1.00% annual Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fee. B Class shares automatically convert to A Class shares (with lower expenses) eight years after their purchase date. C CLASS shares are sold primarily through employer-sponsored retirement plans and through institutions such as investment advisors, banks, broker-dealers, and insurance companies. C Class shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1.00%. There is no CDSC on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains. C Class shares also are subject to a Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fee of up to 1.00%. All classes of shares represent a pro rata interest in the funds and generally have the same rights and preferences. ------ 49 Additional Information RETIREMENT ACCOUNT INFORMATION As required by law, any distributions you receive from an IRA or certain 403(b), 457 and qualified plans [those not eligible for rollover to an IRA or to another qualified plan] are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld. If you don't want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. Even if you plan to roll over the amount you withdraw to another tax-deferred account, the withholding rate still applies to the withdrawn amount unless we have received notice not to withhold federal income tax prior to the withdrawal. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. You have the right to revoke your withholding election at any time and any election you make may remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election. Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don't have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld. State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules. PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES American Century Investment Management, Inc., the funds' manager, is responsible for exercising the voting rights associated with the securities purchased and/or held by the funds.

(continued) ------ 50 Additional Information RISK FACTORS Arizona Municipal and Florida Municipal concentrate their investments in a single state and therefore may have more exposure to credit risk related to the states of Arizona and Florida, respectively, than a fund with a broader geographical diversification. Income may be subject to state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. High-Yield Municipal may concentrate its investments in certain states and therefore may have more exposure to credit risk related to those states than a fund with a broader geographical diversification. High-Yield Municipal invests primarily in lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including price volatility, liquidity risk, and default risk. Income may be subject to state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. ------ 51 Index Definitions The following indices are used to illustrate investment market, sector, or style performance or to serve as fund performance comparisons. They are not investment products available for purchase. The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is a market-value-weighted index designed for the long-term tax-exempt bond market. The LEHMAN BROTHERS LONG-TERM MUNICIPAL BOND INDEX is composed of those securities included in the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index that have maturities greater than 22 years.
