Under CH. 230 § 230-3, operators seeking to open a new mobile home park in Raynham must confirm that the official census has recorded the population thresholds that unlock available licenses before pursuing an application. Compliant operators generally monitor official census data and verify with the Town how many licenses, if any, are currently available under the formula. Because the number of available licenses is directly tied to census figures, operators typically document the relevant census data as part of any licensing inquiry.

Tenants who believe a park is operating without a valid license, or who have concerns about licensing compliance, can raise the matter with the Town's relevant licensing or municipal authority.
