Licenses required
Operative Text
A. House trailer. No person or persons being the owner or occupant of any land or premises within the Town of Newfane shall use or permit the use of such premises for the parking, storage or other location of a house trailer unless such trailer shall have been registered and a permit obtained as hereinafter provided, nor shall the owner or operator of a house trailer park, store or otherwise locate said house trailer upon any premises within the Town of Newfane without obtaining a license therefor as hereinafter provided, except persons holding a building permit with permission for the use of a house trailer, as provided in the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Newfane. However, nothing in this chapter shall prevent a gratuitous guest from parking a house trailer 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 house trailer is registered from an address outside of the Town of Newfane and sanitary conditions are maintained and no direct or indirect charge is paid. B. House trailer camp. No person or persons being the owner or occupant of any land or premises within the Town of Newfane shall use or permit the use of said land or premises as a house trailer camp without obtaining a license therefor as hereinafter provided. C. No property owner shall park any house trailer as defined in § 238-2 on his or her own property for his or her own living purpose for any period in excess of 30 days in any one calendar year, and occupancy during the aforesaid thirty-day period shall only be permitted in the event such house trailer is properly registered and sanitary conditions (including sewer connections) are maintained.
Section 238-3 of Newfane, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 238 establishes that placing, storing, or operating a house trailer or house trailer camp on any land within the Town of Newfane generally requires a registered permit or license. A narrow exception allows a guest's trailer—registered outside Newfane, with no fees exchanged and sanitary conditions maintained—to be parked on a host's property for up to 30 days per calendar year. Property owners who wish to use a trailer on their own land for personal living purposes are similarly capped at 30 days per year, and only if the trailer is properly registered and sanitary conditions, including sewer connections, are maintained.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Newfane Code § 238-3, property owners and operators who allow house trailers or house trailer camps on their land are generally expected to secure the applicable license or permit before any such use begins. Compliant operators typically verify that every trailer on their premises carries valid registration, that all required licenses are in place, and that sanitary infrastructure meets the ordinance's standards. Owners should also be aware that the 30-day guest-trailer exception under § 238-3 applies only when the trailer is registered from an address outside Newfane, no charge of any kind is collected, and proper sanitary conditions are maintained throughout the stay.

Section 238-3 of Newfane's Code of Ordinances sets out the conditions under which a house trailer may lawfully be located on property in the town, including registration and licensing requirements that protect occupants and neighbors alike. If you believe a trailer park or trailer placement is operating without the required license or permit, you may raise that concern with the Town of Newfane's code enforcement office, which oversees compliance with ch. 238. Tenant-rights organizations or a housing attorney familiar with New York municipal law can help clarify how § 238-3's requirements may apply to a particular living arrangement.
