Section 254-2 of Kingston Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 254 establishes the foundational definitions that govern the rest of the article. A 'mobile home' is defined as a portable, wheel-mounted or flatbed-transportable structure licensed by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles for road travel and used for living or camping purposes.

Operators and owners of properties in Kingston Town should be aware that Chapter 254, Section 254-2 sets the definitional boundaries for what qualifies as a mobile home and a mobile home park under local code. A compliant operator generally ensures that any structure meeting the portable, wheel-mounted, DMV-licensable, and residential-use criteria is treated as a mobile home for regulatory purposes. Properties hosting two or more such structures — regardless of whether rent or fees are collected — fall within the definition of a mobile home park and are subject to the full scope of Chapter 254 requirements.
