(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, a housing authority may be created for any county, and the commissioners of such authority may be appointed, in the same manner as provided in this chapter, for the creation of a housing authority for a city and the appointment of the commissioners of such authority. Each housing authority created for a county and the commissioners thereof shall have the same functions, rights, powers, duties, privileges, immunities and limitations provided for housing authorities created for cities and the commissioners of such housing authorities, and all law applicable to housing authorities created for cities and the commissioners of such authorities shall be applicable to housing authorities created for counties and the commissioners of such authorities.

(b) For all such purposes, unless a different meaning clearly appears from the context:

(1) “City” or “city and the area within ten (10) miles from the territorial boundaries thereof” means county;

(2) “City clerk” means county clerk; and

(3) “Mayor” or “council” as used in this chapter and any amendment thereto are construed as meaning county legislative body.

(c) A housing authority created for a county shall not be subject to the limitations provided in § 13-20-113(a)(4) with respect to housing projects for farmers of low income.
