Permit application and renewal
Operative Text
A. The Town Clerk of the Town of Kingston shall issue a permit effective from the day of issuance for the period of one year; at the end of which time it must be renewed for each successive year. B. This permit will not be issued until the Town Clerk has received the following: (1) A written application from the applicant. (2) The required fee as herein provided. (3) Written approval of the Ulster County Department of Health or the New York State Department of Health District Office of the sanitation facilities provided. (4) Submission of detailed plans specifying: (a) Lot sizes. (b) Drainage fields for sewage. (c) Roadways. (d) Distances from park boundaries of each mobile home. (5) A resolution of the Town Board approving issuance of the permit. C. This permit shall not be transferable or assignable. D. Each renewal of the permit shall be passed upon by a resolution of the Town Board. E. Written application for renewal must be submitted not less than one month prior to the expiration of the current permit, and must be accompanied by the fee as provided for renewals. F. Any proposed changes or additions to the original plans must be submitted to the Town Clerk when application is made for renewal.
Section 254-4 of Kingston Town's Code of Ordinances establishes the permit system governing mobile home parks, requiring operators to obtain an annual permit from the Town Clerk and renew it each year. Before a permit can be issued, the Town Clerk must receive a written application, the applicable fee, health department approval of sanitation facilities, detailed site plans, and a Town Board resolution. The permit is non-transferable and non-assignable, meaning it cannot be passed to another party, and each renewal must also be approved by Town Board resolution.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Kingston Town must comply with the annual permit cycle established under § 254-4, which means assembling health department approvals, detailed site plans, and the required fee before a permit can be issued. Compliant operators submit their renewal application to the Town Clerk at least one month before the current permit expires and include any proposed changes or additions to the original plans along with the renewal fee. Because the permit is non-transferable under § 254-4, operators who sell or transfer ownership of a park should be aware that the new owner will need to pursue their own permit through the Town Board resolution process.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 254-4 requires that any mobile home park operating in Kingston Town hold a valid, annually renewed permit issued by the Town Clerk, backed by health department approval of sanitation facilities and a Town Board resolution. Tenants who have concerns about whether their park is operating under a current, valid permit may inquire with the Town Clerk's office or the Ulster County Department of Health, which plays a role in the approval process under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing regulations can help residents understand what recourse may be available if a park appears to be operating without the required permit under § 254-4.
