Section 266-3 of Hoosick, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 266 establishes the official definitions that apply throughout the mobile home park chapter. Key terms such as "mobile home," "mobile home park," "mobile home lot," "mobile home stand," "travel trailer," and "trailer camp" are each given specific meanings that govern how the rest of the chapter is interpreted. The definitions also identify the Building Inspector as the designated enforcement authority and clarify the geographic scope by defining the Town of Hoosick and the County of Rensselaer. These definitions set the interpretive foundation for all other requirements and standards found in Chapter 266.

Property owners and managers operating or seeking to operate a mobile home park or trailer camp in Hoosick should be familiar with the definitions established in § 266-3, as these terms determine which facilities and structures fall under Chapter 266's regulatory requirements. For example, a structure used as a dwelling that is intended to remain in one location for more than 30 days generally meets the chapter's definition of a mobile home, regardless of its original mobility. Compliant operators typically ensure that their facilities, lots, and stands align with the defined terms so that all applicable standards in the chapter are correctly applied to their operations.
