License required
Operative Text
A. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to establish, maintain, operate or conduct a mobile home park within the Town of East Fishkill unless duly licensed to do so as hereinafter provided; further, it shall be unlawful for any person or persons or corporation being the owner of real property in the town to use or permit others to use such land for or as a mobile home park unless such use be licensed and comply in all respects with this chapter. B. Existing mobile home parks. The licensing provisions of this chapter shall apply to existing mobile home parks in the Town of East Fishkill, including the one-time-charge application fee as set from time to time by the Town Board; however, the applicant for a license for an existing mobile home park shall set forth only a response to those matters required under § 131-5A . This chapter shall apply in all respects to any addition or modification to any existing mobile home park. C. The licensing investigation fee set forth in § 131-5B hereinafter shall be a one-time charge made at the time of initial application for a license. There shall be no charge for a renewal of such license as set forth under § 131-10 hereof. D. This chapter is intended to be read in conformity with the Zoning Ordinance and as it may from time to time be amended; mobile home parks may be established subject to this chapter and be located only in such areas or zones of the town as permitted by said ordinances.
East Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 131 § 131-4 establishes that operating or permitting the use of land as a mobile home park within the Town of East Fishkill without a valid license is unlawful. This requirement applies to both new and existing mobile home parks, meaning operators of already-established parks must also obtain and maintain proper licensing. The licensing framework works alongside the town's Zoning Ordinance, so a mobile home park may only be located in zones where such use is permitted, and any addition or modification to an existing park is subject to the full requirements of the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under East Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 131 § 131-4, operators and property owners running a mobile home park are expected to secure a town-issued license before establishing or continuing operations. Compliant operators typically submit the required application, pay the one-time application and investigation fees set by the Town Board, and ensure their park is situated in a zone that permits such use under the Zoning Ordinance. Operators of existing parks should note that while their initial application requires only the information specified under § 131-5A, any future additions or modifications to the park trigger the chapter's full requirements, and license renewals under § 131-10 carry no additional fee.
