Notwithstanding any statute to the contrary, the Sussex County government shall have the power by ordinance to impose and collect a tax, to be paid by the applicant, upon the application for a permit for the placement of a mobile home within the unincorporated areas of the county;  provided, however, that any tax upon the placement of a mobile home shall not be greater than 1 percent of the value of the mobile home as represented by the permit application;  and further provided, that nothing herein shall limit or otherwise affect the power of the county to impose and collect by ordinance fees for placement permits for mobile homes;  and further provided, that the county government shall by ordinance exempt from taxation mobile homes owned by those organizations contained in §§ 8105 and 8106 of this title;  and further provided, that the county government shall by ordinance exempt from taxation mobile homes which are not subject to taxation pursuant to § 8363 of this title.  The funds realized by the county pursuant to this tax shall be segregated from the county's general fund and the funds, and all interest thereon, shall be expended solely for the benefit of the county's independent libraries.  The government of Sussex County may adopt by ordinance or ordinances to provide for the effective administration and regulation of any taxes adopted pursuant to the authority conferred by this section.
