the possessory interest and collected in the same manner as property taxes
assessed to owners of real or personal property; except that such property tax shall

body as is authorized by law to levy property taxes, and shall be recoverable by
such board or body by direct action in debt on behalf of each governmental entity
for which a property tax levy has been made.
