Ind. Code § 36-7-15.1-19 – Redevelopment district bond fund; special tax

(a) This section applies only to:
1. (1) bonds that are issued under section 17 of this chapter; or
2. (2) leases entered into under section 17.1 of this chapter;
  that are payable from a special tax levied upon all of the property in the redevelopment district. This section does not apply to bonds or leases that are payable solely from tax proceeds allocated under section 26(b)(3) of this chapter, other revenues of the commission, or any combination of these sources.
(b) The city-county legislative body shall levy each year a special tax on all of the property of the redevelopment district, in such a manner as to meet and pay:
1. (1) the principal of the bonds as they mature, together with all accruing interest on the bonds; or
2. (2) lease rental payments under section 17.1 of this chapter.
  The tax levied shall be certified to the fiscal officers of the consolidated city and the county before October 2 in each year. The tax shall be estimated and entered on the tax duplicate by the county auditor and shall be collected and enforced by the county treasurer in the same manner as other state and county taxes are estimated, entered, collected, and enforced.
(c) As the tax is collected, it shall be accumulated in a separate fund to be known as the redevelopment district bond fund and shall be applied to the payment of the bonds as they mature and the interest on the bonds as it accrues, or to make lease payments and to no other purpose. All accumulations of the fund before their use for the payment of bonds and interest or to make lease payments shall be deposited with the depository or depositories for other public funds of the city in accordance with the statutes concerning the deposit of public funds, unless they are invested under IC 5-13 .
(d) The tax levies provided for in this section are reviewable by other bodies vested by law with the authority to ascertain that the levies are sufficient to raise the amount that, with other amounts available, is sufficient to meet the payments under the lease payable from the levy of taxes.
