Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 217-61
Manufactured homes and camping grounds
Operative Text
A. No person being the owner or occupant of any land or premises within the Town shall use or permit the use of such premises for the parking, storage or other location of a manufactured home unless such mobile home shall conform to all of the requirements of this chapter. However, nothing in this chapter shall prevent a gratuitous guest from parking a mobile home upon any land or premises owned by the host of such gratuitous guest for a period of not to exceed 30 days in any one calendar year, provided that such mobile home is registered from an address outside of the Town of Manchester, sanitary conditions are maintained and no direct or indirect charge is paid. B. No person being the owner or occupant of any land or premises within the Town shall use or permit the use of such premises for a campground except for casual and temporary use by a gratuitous guest for a period of not to exceed 30 days in any one calendar year, provided that sanitary conditions are maintained and no direct or indirect charge is paid.
Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-61 establishes that manufactured homes placed on any land within the Town of Manchester must comply with all requirements of Chapter 217. A narrow exception allows a host to let a guest park a mobile home—registered outside the Town—on their property for up to 30 days per calendar year at no charge, so long as sanitary conditions are maintained. Similarly, land within the Town may not be used as a campground except for casual, temporary, no-charge stays by guests that also do not exceed 30 days in a calendar year.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-61, property owners who allow a manufactured home to be parked or stored on their land generally ensure that the home meets all Chapter 217 requirements before permitting its placement. Owners who wish to host a guest's mobile home under the short-term exception typically confirm that the home carries a registration address outside the Town, that no fee of any kind changes hands, and that proper sanitary conditions are in place throughout the stay. Owners who allow campground-style use of their property without meeting the gratuitous-guest exception risk operating outside the bounds of this provision.

Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-61 sets out conditions under which a manufactured home may lawfully be located on private land in the Town, which can be relevant to tenants or occupants who live in or near manufactured homes. If an occupant believes a property is being used in a way that violates this provision—such as a campground arrangement that involves charges or exceeds the 30-day guest limit—they may consider raising the matter with the Town of Manchester's code enforcement office.
