Section 107-4 of Halfmoon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 107 establishes that no land within the Town of Halfmoon may be used as a mobile home park without a valid license issued by the Town Clerk. Obtaining that license requires a written application, payment of fees, approvals from the New York State Department of Health District Office, the Town Code Enforcement Officer, and the Town Board, plus a current licensed survey map and site plan. Licenses run through June 30 of each year, are not transferable or assignable, and must be renewed annually by May 1; adding lots to an existing park requires a separate supplemental license with full plan submissions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Halfmoon should be aware that § 107-4 requires a current, non-transferable license before any land may be used for that purpose. A compliant operator maintains all required approvals — from the New York State Department of Health District Office, the Town Code Enforcement Officer, and the Town Board — and submits a renewal application to the Town Clerk on or before May 1 each year, along with the annual fee of $100 plus $5 per authorized lot. Any planned expansion of the park's lot count triggers the supplemental license process under § 107-4(B), which requires five complete sets of plans and specifications before the Town Clerk can issue the additional authorization.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of mobile home parks in Halfmoon have an interest in knowing that § 107-4 requires park operators to hold a valid, annually renewed license issued by the Town Clerk, with approvals from multiple town and state authorities. If a park appears to be operating without a current license — or has expanded lots without a supplemental license — tenants may raise that concern with the Town Code Enforcement Officer or the Town Clerk's office, as those bodies play a direct role in the licensing process. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal housing regulations can help residents understand what options may be available when a park's licensing status is in question.
