(b) Section 25.07(a), Tax Code, does not apply to a leasehold or other possessory interest granted by the district while the district owns the venue project.
(c) The project is exempt from taxation under Section 11.11, Tax Code, while the district owns the venue project.
(d) If approval and implementation of a resolution under this chapter results in the removal from a school district's property tax rolls of real property otherwise subject to ad valorem taxation, the operator of the approved venue project located on that real property shall pay to the school district on January 1 of each year in which the project is in operation and in which the real property is exempt from ad valorem taxation an amount equal to the ad valorem taxes that would otherwise have been levied for the preceding tax year on that real property by the school district, without including the value of any improvements.
