Sec. 27. (a) The exercise of the powers granted by this article will be in all respects for the benefit of the people of the state, for the increase of their commerce and prosperity, and for the improvement of their health and living conditions.

(b) As the operation and maintenance of a port or project by the ports of Indiana will constitute the performance of essential governmental functions, the ports of Indiana shall not be required to pay any taxes or assessments upon any port or project or any property acquired or used by the ports of Indiana under the provisions of this article or upon the income therefrom. The bonds issued by the ports of Indiana, the interest thereon, the proceeds received by a holder from the sale of such bonds to the extent of the holder's cost of acquisition, or proceeds received upon redemption prior to maturity or proceeds received at maturity, and the receipt of such interest and proceeds shall be exempt from taxation in the state of Indiana for all purposes except the financial institutions tax imposed under IC 6-5.5.

(c) Notwithstanding any other statute, a lessee's leasehold estate in land that is part of a port and that is owned by the state or the ports of Indiana is exempt from property taxation. However, an exemption under this subsection is not available for land not located at a port.
