Operative Text
A. The applicant for a mobile home park permit shall, at the time of the issuance of a permit, pay to the Town Clerk a fee computed at a rate of $100 per mobile home space for the initial permit. Thereafter, the permit fee per annum shall be $7, based upon the number of actual mobile home spaces ready for use in the year for which the permit is issued, plus $5 per space for the balance of the approved lots. The minimum fee for actual permits shall be $100. B. Commencing January 1, 1998, payment is to be due on April 1, 1998. The applicant has until April 1, 1998, to make payment without penalty. Thereafter, from the due date a penalty of 11/2% shall be assessed each month until paid. If not paid within one year, the town may revoke the permit and initiate a lawsuit for collection, including attorney fees and all court costs. C. Commencing January 1, 1999, and each year thereafter, payment is to be due on January 1. The applicant has until January 31 of each year to make payment without penalty. Thereafter, from the due date a penalty of 11/2% shall be assessed each month until paid. If not paid within one year, the town may revoke the permit and initiate a lawsuit for collection, including attorney fees and all court costs. D. Violations. Any person violating any of the provisions of this section shall be guilty of an offense and, upon a conviction, shall be given a civil penalty of $250 per week. Each week's violation shall constitute a separate and additional violation. An action may be commenced in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover such penalty. In addition thereto, violations of this section shall be subject to injunctive relief being awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction. E. This section shall be effective immediately upon its filing with the Secretary of State.
Section 131-8 of Mamakating's Code of Ordinances establishes the fee structure for mobile home park permits issued by the Town Clerk. The initial permit costs $100 per mobile home space, while annual renewal fees are calculated at $7 per active space plus $5 per approved-but-unused space, with a $100 minimum. Permit fees are due by January 31 each year, and unpaid balances accrue a 1.5% monthly penalty; if fees remain unpaid for a full year, the town may revoke the permit and pursue legal action to collect the debt, including attorney fees and court costs. Violations of this section can result in a civil penalty of $250 per week, with each week treated as a separate offense.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Mamakating must obtain and maintain a permit under § 131-8, paying the initial fee of $100 per space to the Town Clerk at the time of issuance. Compliant operators ensure that annual renewal fees—calculated on actual ready-to-use spaces and approved lots—are submitted by January 31 each year to avoid the 1.5% monthly late penalty. Operators who allow fees to go unpaid for a full year risk permit revocation and a town-initiated lawsuit for collection, and any violation of § 131-8 can expose the park operator to a civil penalty of $250 per week per continuing violation.

Residents of mobile home parks in Mamakating may have an interest in whether their park operator is maintaining a valid permit under § 131-8, since an operator's failure to pay required fees can ultimately lead to permit revocation. If a park's permit is revoked or a violation is ongoing, tenants may wish to contact the Town of Mamakating directly to understand the status of the park's permit and any enforcement actions underway. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York mobile home park law can help residents understand what permit non-compliance under § 131-8 may mean for their housing situation and what options may be available to them.
