(b) The board may levy in compliance with IC 6-1.1-41 a tax not to exceed:
(1) thirty-three hundredths of one cent ($0.0033) on each one hundred dollars ($100) of assessed value of taxable property within the district, if an eligible entity other than a city established the district or if the district was established jointly with an eligible entity that is not a city;
(2) one and thirty-three hundredths cents ($0.0133) on each one hundred dollars ($100) of assessed value of taxable property within the district, if the authority was established under IC 19-6-3 (before its repeal on April 1, 1980); and
