The levies herein provided for shall be made by resolution of the board of directors, and the amount thereof, together with the tax roll showing the property which the assessment and levy is to be made against, shall be certified by July 15 of each year to the board of county commissioners of the county or counties in which the district is situated and included in the next annual levy for state and county purposes. The amount shall be extended on the tax schedules for property taxation purposes and be collected for the use of such district in the same manner as are taxes for county purposes, and the revenue laws of the state, for the levy and collection of taxes for county purposes, except as herein modified, shall be applicable for the levy and collection of the amount certified by the board of such district, including the penalties and enforcement thereof, and forfeiture for delinquent taxes. Taxes levied against the property in the district, as herein provided, shall be a lien upon the same from the time of such levy, subject only to levies made for state and county purposes. All collections made by the county treasurers pursuant to such levies shall be paid to the treasurer of the district on or before the tenth day of the next succeeding calendar month, and a list of the payers, the amount paid by each and the property covered thereby shall accompany such remittance. Such statement of the list of the payers shall be made upon forms furnished to the treasurer by the directors of the district.
