343.97 Exemption from taxation.—The effectuation of the authorized purposes of the authority created under this part is for the benefit of the people of this state, for the increase of their commerce and prosperity, and for the improvement of their health and living conditions, and, because the authority performs essential governmental functions in effectuating such purposes, the authority is not required to pay any taxes or assessments of any kind or nature whatsoever upon any property acquired or used by it for such purposes, or upon any rates, fees, rentals, receipts, income, or charges at any time received by it. The bonds issued by the authority, their transfer, and the income therefrom, including any profits made on the sale thereof, shall at all times be free from taxation of any kind by the state or by any political subdivision, taxing agency, or instrumentality thereof. The exemption granted by this section does not apply to any tax imposed by chapter 220 on interest, income, or profits on debt obligations owned by corporations.
