Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 217-35
Sale of lots
Operative Text
Any sale of a manufactured home space or spaces or portion of a manufactured home community or mobile home park, other than the entire manufactured home community or mobile home park, as shown on the plan of such park approved by the Town, shall thereupon immediately invalidate the permit for such community approved by the Town Board. Any use of any of the premises within the manufactured home community or mobile home park other than as a park shall thereupon immediately invalidate the permit of such park approved by the Town Board.
Under Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-35, a manufactured home community or mobile home park permit issued by the Town Board is automatically voided if any individual space, spaces, or portion of the park is sold separately rather than as part of the whole community. Similarly, the permit is immediately invalidated if any part of the park's premises is used for a purpose other than as a park. These invalidations take effect at the moment the triggering event occurs, without any additional action required by the Town.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home communities in Manchester should be aware that § 217-35 ties the validity of their Town Board-approved permit to two conditions: keeping the park intact as a single ownership unit and maintaining its use exclusively as a park. A compliant operator generally avoids selling off individual lots or spaces separately and ensures that no portion of the property is converted to a non-park use. Reviewing any proposed transaction or land-use change against this provision before proceeding is a standard part of responsible park management.

Residents of manufactured home communities in Manchester may find § 217-35 relevant if they learn that their park's ownership structure is being altered through partial lot sales, or that portions of the property are being used for non-park purposes. Either situation could affect the legal standing of the park's operating permit, which in turn may have implications for residents' housing stability. Tenants who have concerns about potential violations of this provision can contact the Town of Manchester, consult a tenant-rights organization, or seek guidance from a housing attorney familiar with local ordinance enforcement.
