Before issuing these bonds, the governing body of the issuer
shall:
    (1)   Designate by resolution a contiguous area within its jurisdiction as a
"development district". If the governing body of a county
designates an area which is wholly or partly within the corporate
limits of a municipality, a resolution of the governing body of the
municipality, approving the district, is also required to establish the
district.
    (2)   Receive from the supervisor of assessments a certification as to the
amount of the original assessable base, or if applicable, the adjusted
assessable base.
    (3)   Pledge that until the bonds have been fully paid or thereafter, the
property taxes on real property within the development district shall
be divided as follows:
      (i)   That portion of the taxes which would be produced by the rate at which
taxes levied each year by or for a municipality or county upon the
original taxable value shall be allocated to and when collected paid
into the funds of the respective taxing bodies in the same manner as
taxes by or for the taxing bodies on all other property are paid.
      (ii)   That portion of the taxes representing the levy on the tax increment
that would normally be paid to the issuing body shall be paid into a
special fund to be applied in accordance with the provisions of §
14-208. This yield shall not be considered as county or municipal
taxes for the purposes of any constant yield tax limitation or State or
local restriction, except for tax revenues received from residential
properties in Prince George's County. No State real property taxes may
be paid into the special fund.
