Hoosick, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 266 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 266-6
Licensing procedure for mobile home park and for trailer camp
Operative Text
A. Upon receipt of the license application and fee, the Town Clerk shall date and promptly transmit one copy of the application and all accompanying plans, specifications, and other supporting documents to the Building Inspector, and one copy thereof to the Town Planning Board for review and report pursuant to § 271, Subdivision 14, of the Town Law of the State of New York. The Town Clerk shall also place a notice in the official Town newspaper(s) to the effect that such an application has been filed. B. The Building Inspector shall promptly ascertain whether the park or camp concerned complies with the requirements of this chapter and applicable rules and regulations of the New York State and Rensselaer County Departments of Health, and the Sanitary Code of the State of New York. The Building Inspector shall then, and within 30 days of the date of receipt of the application by the Town Clerk, transmit his finding, in writing, to the Town Board, together with his written approval or disapproval or disapproval of the application, and his recommendation pertaining thereto. C. The Planning Board shall promptly consider the location and the general arrangement of the mobile home park or trailer camp, including the location and width of streets; the location, size, and arrangement of lots; entrances and exits; and location, type and extent of landscaping and screening materials. The Planning Board shall, after such investigation and study, and within 60 days of the date of receipt of the application by the Town Clerk, transmit to the Town Board its written findings and recommendations. D. The Town Board shall, within 75 days of the date of receipt of the application by the Town Clerk, review the findings of the Building Inspector and of the Planning Board, and by resolution indicate its approval or disapproval of the application. The Town Clerk shall notify the applicant of the Town Board's decision, in writing, within five days thereof. E. If the application is approved by the Town Board, the Town Clerk shall, upon receipt of the applicable license fee herein provided, together with the actual cost of any engineering or other services incurred by the Town in consideration of the application, issue a license to be effective from the date thereof through the 30th of June next succeeding. Such license shall specify the number of mobile home or trailer lots which may be used in the park or camp to which it pertains. No such license shall be transferable or assignable.
Section 266-6 of Hoosick's Code of Ordinances establishes the step-by-step licensing procedure that governs how mobile home parks and trailer camps obtain operating licenses from the Town. After an application is filed with the Town Clerk, it is routed to both the Building Inspector and the Planning Board, each of whom must submit written findings to the Town Board within set timeframes—30 and 60 days, respectively. The Town Board then has 75 days from the application's receipt to approve or disapprove the application by resolution, and any issued license is non-transferable, specifies the number of permitted lots, and runs through June 30 of the following year.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks or trailer camps in Hoosick should be aware that § 266-6 sets firm procedural timelines once a license application is submitted to the Town Clerk. A compliant operator ensures that all required plans, specifications, and supporting documents accompany the application, and that the applicable license fee—plus any engineering or other costs incurred by the Town—is paid before a license is issued. Because the license specifies the maximum number of permitted lots and cannot be transferred or assigned, operators generally keep their license current and do not exceed the lot count authorized on the face of the license.

Residents of mobile home parks or trailer camps in Hoosick benefit from knowing that § 266-6 requires park operators to hold a valid, Town-issued license that specifies the number of lots that may be used. If a park appears to be operating without a current license, or with more occupied lots than the license authorizes, residents may bring that concern to the Town Clerk or Town Board, which are the bodies responsible for overseeing this process. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York mobile home park law can help residents understand what remedies or complaints may be available under this provision.
