Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 217-63
Issuance of license for manufactured home
Operative Text
The Town Clerk, upon written application and upon the receipt of the license fee therefor, may, with the written approval of the Health Officer and the Zoning Officer, issue a license, to become effective from the date thereof and to continue in force for the term specified therein but in no event longer than through the 31st day of December next succeeding, for the use of premises therein specified as a manufactured home. Such license shall not be transferable or assignable.
Under Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-63, a property may be licensed for use as a manufactured home only after a written application is submitted to the Town Clerk, the required fee is paid, and both the Health Officer and the Zoning Officer provide written approval. Any license issued runs from its effective date through no later than December 31 of the same year, meaning it must be renewed annually at most. The license is personal to the holder and cannot be transferred or assigned to another party.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking to use a premises as a manufactured home under § 217-63 generally submit a written application to the Town Clerk along with the applicable license fee, and ensure that written approvals from both the Health Officer and the Zoning Officer are secured before a license can be issued. Because the license expires no later than December 31 of the year it is issued, compliant operators typically track renewal deadlines to avoid operating without a valid license. Since the license is non-transferable and non-assignable under § 217-63, property sales or management changes require a fresh application rather than a simple transfer of the existing license.

Section 217-63 of the Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances establishes that a manufactured home may only be lawfully occupied on premises covered by a valid, properly issued license — one that has been approved by both the Health Officer and the Zoning Officer. Tenants in manufactured homes may wish to confirm that the premises they occupy holds a current license, since the license expires at year-end and cannot be transferred between parties. Those with concerns about whether a property is properly licensed can contact the Town Clerk's office or a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on how licensing status may affect their situation.
