§ 24-1-3. Rural Housing Projects.
(a) Until a purchaser makes full payment for a dwelling which is constructed by a county or regional housing authority in a rural area, such dwellings shall continue to be the property of such authority, regardless of the title to the land on which it is constructed, and such dwelling shall be exempt from taxation in the same manner as other property of such authority. Any document making land available for use by such authority shall be admitted to record, and accordingly constitute notice, in the same manner as a deed or other instrument relating to real estate.
(b) When a county or regional housing authority provides a dwelling in a rural area under this title, the owner of the land living in the dwelling under a lease or purchase agreement shall be entitled to receive the same homestead exemption as if he had title to the dwelling.
(c) No dwelling shall be provided on a farm by a county or regional housing authority unless it has determined that, by reason of the character of the farm with respect to which the dwelling is to be constructed and the manner of its operation, the farmer is likely successfully to carry out the undertakings required of him under his purchase agreement or lease.
