The mill rate determined must be levied against the sum of the actual taxable value of all taxable property located within as well as outside the area or district.
(2) (a) Except as provided in subsection (2)(b), the tax increment, if any, received in each year from the levy of the combined mill rates of all the affected taxing bodies against the incremental taxable value within the area or district must be paid into a special fund held by the treasurer of the local government and used as provided in 7-15-4282 through 7-15-4294.
