Definitions
Operative Text
For the purpose of this chapter, the following words, terms and phrases shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section: MOBILE HOME A movable or portable year-round living unit designed and constructed to be towed on its own chassis, connected to utilities, with or without a permanent foundation. "Mobile home" shall mean a unit designed to be used exclusively for residential purposes. MOBILE HOME LOT A designated site of specific total land area which is located within a mobile home park for the accommodation of one mobile home and its occupants. MOBILE HOME PARK Any parcel of land which is planned and improved for the placement of two or more mobile homes which are used as dwellings and for occupancy of more than 90 consecutive days. MOBILE HOME STAND A durable surface located on a mobile home lot which is to be used for the placement of and capable of supporting a mobile home.
Section 89-3 of Schaghticoke's Code of Ordinances establishes the foundational definitions that govern the town's mobile home regulations. The provision distinguishes between four related concepts: a mobile home (a portable, year-round residential unit towed on its own chassis), a mobile home lot (a designated site within a park for one mobile home), a mobile home park (a planned parcel accommodating two or more mobile homes for stays exceeding 90 consecutive days), and a mobile home stand (the durable surface on a lot that supports a mobile home). These definitions set the scope and meaning of terms used throughout Chapter 89.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Schaghticoke should be familiar with the definitions established in § 89-3, as these terms frame the requirements throughout Chapter 89. A compliant park operator generally ensures that each mobile home is placed on a designated lot containing a durable stand capable of supporting the unit, and that the overall parcel is planned and improved in accordance with the chapter's standards. Understanding the distinction between a mobile home lot, stand, and park helps operators structure their properties and leasing arrangements in alignment with local code.

Tenants residing in Schaghticoke mobile home parks benefit from understanding the definitions in § 89-3, which establish what qualifies as a mobile home, a mobile home lot, and a mobile home park under local law. These definitions matter because the protections and requirements throughout Chapter 89 apply specifically to arrangements that meet these criteria — for example, occupancy intended to exceed 90 consecutive days in a park with two or more units. Tenants who believe their living situation falls within these definitions and have concerns about their rights may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the full text of Chapter 89 for applicable protections.
