Waterford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 104 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 104-9
Renewal of permit
Operative Text
Application for the renewal of any mobile home permit issued pursuant to this chapter must be filed with the Town Clerk on or before the first day of December next preceding the expiration of said permit. The application for renewal shall be in writing and signed by the applicant and shall contain the same information as required by § 104-5A of this chapter in the case of original application for permits, except that such renewal application need not be accompanied by a plan of the mobile home park unless some change in the plan or layout of the park is contemplated by the applicant, nor is it necessary that said renewal application be accompanied by the lease of the premises unless a new lease of the premises has been entered into subsequent to the time of filing the previous application, in which event the original or photostatic copy of the new lease shall be attached to the application for a renewal, nor shall it be necessary to attach to such application for a renewal the written consent of the owners of the premises that the same may be used for the purpose of a mobile home park unless there shall have been a change in the ownership since the filing of the previous application, in which event such written statement signed by all of the new owners of the premises must accompany the application for a renewal of the permit. Upon the approval of said application for a renewal of the permit by the Town Board, the Town Clerk shall issue a renewal permit which shall become effective upon the expiration of the prior permit and continue in force for the term specified therein but in no event longer than for a period of one year. Such renewal permit shall not be transferred or assigned. The applicant shall, at the time of issuance of such renewal permit, pay to the Town Clerk the same fee provided in § 104-5D of this chapter covering the original issuance of mobile home park permits.
Section 104-9 of Waterford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 104 establishes the process for renewing a mobile home park permit. Renewal applications must be submitted in writing to the Town Clerk by December 1st of the year before the current permit expires, and they must include the same core information as an original application — though certain documents like a site plan, lease, or owner consent statement only need to be resubmitted if something has changed since the last filing. Once the Town Board approves the renewal, the Town Clerk issues a new permit that takes effect when the prior one expires, runs for a specified term not exceeding one year, and cannot be transferred or assigned. The same fee that applies to original permits under § 104-5D is due at the time the renewal permit is issued.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Waterford should be aware that under § 104-9, the renewal application must reach the Town Clerk on or before December 1st preceding the permit's expiration — missing this deadline puts continued lawful operation at risk. A compliant operator reviews whether any changes to the park layout, lease, or property ownership have occurred since the last filing, and includes updated documentation only where such changes apply. The renewal fee matching the original permit fee under § 104-5D is paid directly to the Town Clerk at the time the renewed permit is issued, and operators keep in mind that the renewed permit is non-transferable and non-assignable.

Residents of mobile home parks in Waterford may find it useful to know that under § 104-9, the park operator is required to hold a valid, annually renewed permit issued by the Town — meaning the park's authorization to operate is subject to regular Town Board review. If a park appears to be operating without a current permit, or if a permit renewal was denied, that information may be relevant to understanding the legal status of the park and any tenancy within it. Tenants who have questions about whether a park's permit is current can inquire with the Waterford Town Clerk's office, and tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York mobile home park law can help explain what options may be available under ch. 104.
