Barton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 97 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 97-34
Skirting requirements
Operative Text
Each mobile home owner shall be required to enclose the bottom portion of the mobile home with a metal, vinyl, painted pressure-treated wood or other water-resistant material, properly ventilated, within 60 days after arrival in the park. No skirt shall be required where a perimeter foundation (masonry eight inches in width) fully encloses the area between the mobile home and ground level.
Under Barton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 97 § 97-34, mobile homes located in a park must have the space beneath them enclosed with an approved water-resistant material—such as metal, vinyl, or painted pressure-treated wood—that is also properly ventilated. This enclosure, commonly called skirting, must be in place within 60 days of the mobile home's arrival at the park. The requirement does not apply when a masonry perimeter foundation at least eight inches wide already fully encloses the area between the home and the ground.

Park operators overseeing compliance with Barton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 97 § 97-34 generally track move-in dates and confirm that each mobile home owner installs compliant skirting—metal, vinyl, painted pressure-treated wood, or comparable water-resistant and ventilated material—within the 60-day window. Operators typically document whether any home qualifies for the masonry-foundation exemption so that records are clear if questions arise. Maintaining a move-in log and conducting a follow-up inspection near the 60-day mark are practices commonly associated with orderly park management under this provision.
