(1) Regardless of whether the title to a project is held by the authority or a trustee acting for the authority, if the project is being financed by the authority on behalf of a for-profit corporation or other organization, the project is subject to taxation to the same extent, in the same manner, and under the same procedures as privately owned property in similar circumstances if the project is leased to or held by private interests on both the assessment date and the date the county commissioners set the mill levies in any year. The project is not subject to taxation in any year during which it is not leased to or held by private interests on both the assessment date and the date the county commissioners set the mill levy.
     (2) When personal property owned by the authority or a trustee acting for the authority is taxed under this section and the personal property taxes on the personal property are delinquent, a levy by warrant for distraint for collection of the delinquent taxes may be made only on the personal property against which the taxes were levied.
