Section 89-4 of Schaghticoke's Code of Ordinances establishes that any land within the Town of Schaghticoke used as a mobile home park must be covered by a valid license, which is issued annually and cannot be transferred or assigned to another party. Obtaining or renewing a license requires a written application, payment of fees, health department approval, and both the Code Enforcement Officer's and Town Board's sign-off. Operators wishing to expand an existing park must apply for a supplemental license following the same multi-step approval process, and renewals must be filed before the month preceding the license's expiration.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 89-4, operators of mobile home parks in Schaghticoke generally maintain compliance by securing a new license each year before the prior one expires, submitting renewal applications to the Town Clerk no later than the first day of the month preceding expiration. Compliant operators also ensure that any planned expansion of lots is covered by a supplemental license, complete with the required plans and specifications referenced in § 89-6. Because licenses under § 89-4 are non-transferable, property owners who acquire or sell a mobile home park operation typically account for the need to obtain a fresh license rather than relying on an existing one.

Section 89-4 provides that residents of mobile home parks in Schaghticoke have an interest in knowing whether the park where they live holds a current, valid license issued under this provision. A license signals that the park has met health department review and Town Board approval, which are baseline operating requirements. Tenants who have questions about a park's licensing status may inquire with the Town Clerk's office or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York mobile home park regulations.
