B. Filing of application and submission of same to Rensselaer County Health Department and Village Board. (1) Each application shall be filed in triplicate with the Village Clerk who shall thereupon transmit a copy to the Rensselaer County Health Department and the Village Board. (2) Such application shall indicate compliance by the applicant with the minimum camp requirements as established by rule or regulation of the State Department of Health and of the Sanitary Code of the State of New York and of the County of Rensselaer, and shall be accompanied by approval in writing of the Rensselaer County Department of Health. The Rensselaer County Department of Health shall after investigation transmit the application to the Village Board, together with its written approval or disapproval thereof or recommendation pertaining thereto. After approval of the Health Department, the Village Board shall, after investigation and examination, approve or disapprove the application. All such applications shall be filed with the Village Clerk and the applicant notified in writing by the Clerk of the action taken thereon. C. Issuance of permit. The Village Clerk of the Village of Castleton-on-Hudson upon the written application and upon the approval of the same by the Health Department and the Board of the Village of Castleton-on-Hudson, and upon receipt of the fee hereinafter provided, shall issue a permit to become effective from the date of issuance and to continue in force through the 31st day of December next succeeding for the use of the premises therein specified as a trailer camp, which permit shall specify the number of camp units which may be used in said camp. Such permit shall not be transferable or assignable. D. Fees. The applicant for a trailer camp permit shall at the time of issuance of any such permit pay to the Village Clerk a fee as set from time to time by the Board of Trustees.
Section 141-5 of Castleton-on-Hudson's Code of Ordinances establishes the process for obtaining a trailer camp permit, covering the written application requirements, plan submissions, multi-agency review, and associated fees. The permit, once issued by the Village Clerk, runs through December 31st of the year it is issued and specifies the number of allowable camp units. Permits issued under this section are non-transferable and non-assignable, meaning they cannot be passed to another party.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking to run a trailer camp under § 141-5 generally prepare a detailed written application—including ownership information, a full premises description, and professionally drawn plans—and submit it in triplicate to the Village Clerk. Compliance requires obtaining written approval from the Rensselaer County Department of Health before the Village Board acts on the application, and paying the fee set by the Board of Trustees at the time of permit issuance. Because the permit under § 141-5 expires on December 31st of the issuance year and cannot be transferred, operators typically plan for annual renewal and understand that a change in ownership or operator would require a new application.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents or prospective occupants of a trailer camp in Castleton-on-Hudson can look to § 141-5 to understand that any lawfully operating camp must hold a current, Village-issued permit specifying the number of authorized camp units. If a camp appears to be operating without a valid permit or in excess of its permitted unit count, that information is on file with the Village Clerk, who is the official record-keeper under this section. Those with concerns about a camp's compliance may contact the Village Clerk's office or the Rensselaer County Department of Health, or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York housing regulations.
