      1.  The body having authority to levy taxes within each county shall levy the general (ad valorem) taxes provided in this chapter. All officials charged with the duty of collecting taxes shall collect such taxes at the time and in the form and manner and with like interest and penalties as other general (ad valorem) taxes are collected and, when collected, shall pay the same to the district ordering its levy and collection. The payment of such collections shall be made monthly to the treasurer of the district and paid into the depository thereof to the credit of the district.

      2.  All taxes levied under this chapter, together with interest thereon and penalties for default in payment thereof and all costs of collecting the same, shall, until paid, constitute a perpetual lien on and against the property taxed, and such lien shall be on a parity with the tax lien of other general taxes, and no sale of such property to enforce any general tax or other lien shall extinguish the perpetual lien of such district taxes.
