After the bonds are issued, the governing body or board shall enter upon on its minutes a record of the bonds sold, and their numbers and dates, and shall annually levy and cause to be collected a tax, at the same time and in the same manner as other taxes are levied and collected upon on all taxable property in such political subdivision, that shall not exceed an amount sufficient to pay the annual interest on the bonds when due, and shall likewise annually levy a tax sufficient to redeem the bonds when they mature.
