Wolcott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 95 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 95-7
Application
Operative Text
A. The application for such annual license, or the renewal thereof, shall be filed with the Village Clerk and shall be accompanied by a fee of $25. Thereafter, each mobile home shall be assessed on the tax rolls of the Village against the mobile home park owners in accordance with § 102 of the New York Real Property Tax Law. No other fees shall be charged against the mobile home owner; provided, however, that each mobile home is assessed and placed on the tax rolls, and that the school, county, town, Village and state taxes have been paid for the current year. In the event that each mobile home is not on the tax rolls and the tax not paid for the current year, the mobile home park owner shall pay a monthly fee for each month or any portion thereof that each mobile home occupied a mobile home space, and the monthly fee therefor shall be $5, which shall be paid at the commencement of each month. B. The application for a license, or renewal thereof, shall be made on forms prescribed by the Village and shall include the name and address of the owner in fee of the tract. (If fee is vested in some person other than the applicant, a duly verified statement by the person that the applicant is authorized by him to construct or maintain the mobile home park shall accompany the application.) Each license or renewal thereof shall expire on the 31st day of December following the issuance thereof. C. Any applicant for a mobile home park license shall state that he, as agent or owner, shall be responsible for the proper maintenance and upkeep of the proposed park, and shall furnish the following information: (1) Boundaries of plot areas. (2) Entrances, exits and walkways. (3) Mobile home sites or lots. (4) Method and plan of sewage disposal. (5) Method and plan of garbage disposal. (6) Water supply. (7) Electric lighting. (8) Incinerator area. (9) Owner's and operator's name and address.
Section 95-7 of Wolcott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 95 establishes the application process for obtaining or renewing an annual mobile home park license. A $25 fee accompanies the application, filed with the Village Clerk, and each mobile home must be assessed on the Village tax rolls with all applicable taxes paid for the current year. If a mobile home is not on the tax rolls or taxes are unpaid, the park owner owes a $5 monthly fee per mobile home space occupied. Licenses expire on December 31 of the year they are issued, and applicants must provide detailed site information including sewage, water, and garbage disposal plans.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 95-7, operators of mobile home parks in Wolcott are generally expected to file their annual license application or renewal with the Village Clerk, accompanied by the $25 fee, before the December 31 expiration date. Compliant operators ensure that each mobile home on their property is properly assessed on the Village tax rolls and that all school, county, town, Village, and state taxes are current, thereby avoiding the $5-per-month-per-space fee that applies when those conditions are not met. Applications must be submitted on Village-prescribed forms, include the name and address of the fee owner, and provide detailed information about the park's boundaries, utilities, and waste disposal methods.

Section 95-7 establishes that mobile home park owners—not individual mobile home owners—bear responsibility for obtaining and maintaining the annual park license and for ensuring each home is properly placed on the tax rolls. The provision explicitly states that no additional fees shall be charged against the mobile home owner once the home is assessed and taxes are current, which may be relevant if a park owner attempts to pass along licensing or tax-related costs. Tenants who believe fees are being improperly charged in connection with this provision may find it useful to review the ordinance directly, contact the Wolcott Village Clerk for information, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
