LaGrange, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 156 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 156-5
Applicability; prevalence of higher standards
Operative Text
A. Existing parks. This chapter shall not apply to trailer parks in existence at the time of enactment hereof except as specifically noted in § 156-4 . Preexisting mobile home or trailer parks shall, within 180 days of the effective date of this chapter, file a plat plan with the Town Clerk showing existing sites and facilities. Any future expansion beyond that in existence at the time of enactment of this chapter shall meet the requirements hereof. B. Previous laws. The provisions of this chapter shall supersede local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations to the extent that such laws, ordinances, codes or regulations are inconsistent with the provisions hereof; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the adoption and enforcement of a law, ordinance or regulation which is more restrictive or which establishes a higher standard for mobile home parks than those provided in this chapter, and such more restrictive requirement or higher standard shall govern during the period in which it is in effect. C. Conflict with other laws. In a case where a provision of this chapter is found to be in conflict with a provision of a zoning, building, electrical, plumbing, fire safety, health, water supply or sewage disposal law or ordinance or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, or other local law, ordinance, code or regulation, the provision or requirement which is more restrictive or which establishes a higher standard shall prevail.
LaGrange Code ch. 156 § 156-5 establishes how the mobile home and trailer park regulations interact with existing parks, prior local laws, and other regulatory frameworks. Trailer parks that existed when the chapter was enacted are generally exempt from its requirements, except as noted in § 156-4, but must file a plat plan with the Town Clerk within 180 days and must comply with the chapter's standards for any future expansion. When this chapter conflicts with other local laws or regulations—such as zoning, building, or health codes—whichever standard is more restrictive or sets a higher bar takes precedence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home or trailer parks in LaGrange should be aware that under ch. 156 § 156-5, preexisting parks are largely grandfathered but are not entirely exempt—a plat plan showing existing sites and facilities must have been filed with the Town Clerk within 180 days of the chapter's effective date. Any expansion of a preexisting park beyond its footprint at the time of enactment must fully comply with the chapter's current requirements. Compliant operators also track overlapping regulations—zoning, building, fire safety, health, and similar codes—and apply whichever standard is more stringent when a conflict arises.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of mobile home or trailer parks in LaGrange may find § 156-5 relevant when questions arise about whether their park is subject to the full requirements of ch. 156 or operates under a grandfathered status. Even grandfathered parks must have filed a plat plan with the Town Clerk, and any expanded sections of the park must meet current chapter standards—information that can be requested from the Town Clerk's office as a public record. When multiple regulations apply to a park, § 156-5 directs that the more protective or restrictive standard governs, and tenant-rights organizations or local housing offices can help residents understand which rules apply in a given situation.
