Sloatsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 227 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 227-27
Permanently attached trailers, etc., not exempt
Operative Text
The permanent attachment of a house trailer, camp cottage, tent house, cabin or other structure to the ground in a manner to prevent the ready removal thereof shall not be construed as removing it from the requirements or scope of this chapter.
Under Sloatsburg Code § 227-27, permanently anchoring a house trailer, camp cottage, tent house, cabin, or similar structure to the ground does not allow it to escape the rules set out in Chapter 227. In other words, the act of making such a structure immovable does not reclassify it as a conventional building exempt from the chapter's requirements. The provision closes a potential loophole by ensuring that physical attachment to land is not treated as a legal transformation of the structure's status.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating or renting out trailers, camp cottages, tent houses, cabins, or similar structures in Sloatsburg should be aware that, under § 227-27, permanently anchoring such a structure to the ground does not relieve it of any obligations imposed by Chapter 227. Compliant operators generally treat these structures as fully subject to the chapter's requirements regardless of how securely they are affixed to the property. Reviewing all applicable provisions of Chapter 227 in light of this rule is a standard part of responsible property management for these structure types.

Tenants living in house trailers, camp cottages, tent houses, cabins, or similar structures in Sloatsburg may find it relevant that § 227-27 preserves the applicability of Chapter 227 to their dwelling even if it has been permanently attached to the ground. This means that a landlord cannot argue that permanent anchoring removes the structure from the chapter's protections or requirements. Tenants who believe their housing situation implicates Chapter 227 may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the full text of the chapter to understand what rights and remedies may be available.
