(1) For the purposes of the authority, the airport authority board may purchase, lease, accept by gift or devise real or personal property, or condemn private property. Condemnation shall be exercised by the authority in the same manner as provided the state aeronautics commission by section 104 of Act No. 327 of the Public Acts of 1945, being section 259.104 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, or under such other appropriate acts as shall be passed for the purpose of instituting and prosecuting condemnation proceedings for airport or landing field purposes. The authority board may sell, exchange, lease, hold, manage, and control such property. It may convey its property or any part thereof without monetary consideration to a nonprofit corporation organized for the purpose of owning, maintaining, and operating a public airport or permit the use of such property by such corporation. The conveyance or permission for use shall be upon condition that the corporation maintain and operate an airport upon any land so conveyed or use of which is permitted, and that the corporation shall conform to the rules and standards provided by Act No. 327 of the Public Acts of 1945, as amended, being section 259.1 to 259.208 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. If land is acquired by condemnation, the provisions of Act No. 87 of the Public Acts of 1980, as amended, being section 213.51 to 213.76 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, shall be adopted and used for the purpose of instituting and prosecuting the condemnation proceedings.
(2) All buildings or personal property located on the community airport may be taxed in the same manner as taxes assessed to owners of real property, except that such taxes shall not become a lien against the property. When due, such taxes shall constitute a debt due from the owner of the buildings or personal property to the township, city, village, county, and school district in which the airport is located and shall be recoverable by direct action of assumpsit.
