Castleton-on-Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 141 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 141-13
Application to trailers not located in camps
Operative Text
The provisions of § 141-11B of this chapter shall apply only to a house trailer parked or placed outside a permitted trailer camp on and after the effective date of this chapter. House trailers parked outside of a duly permitted trailer camp prior to the effective date of this chapter and occupied as a dwelling may remain in the position or place in which they are then parked subject to the existing ordinances of the Village of Castleton-on-Hudson; provided, however, that no such house trailer shall be moved to a new location in the Village of Castleton-on-Hudson except by compliance with the provisions of this chapter, and, provided, also, that any owner or lessee of a house trailer presently parked outside a permitted trailer camp may replace the same with a new house trailer located upon the same plot of ground and in the same general location. The owner of an existing house trailer replacing the same with a new house trailer shall file a plot plan with the Village Clerk, showing the dimensions of the new trailer and its location upon the building lot. The replacement house trailer, however, must comply with all provisions of other existing ordinances of the Village of Castleton-on-Hudson.
Section 141-13 of Castleton-on-Hudson's Code of Ordinances ch. 141 establishes how the rules governing house trailers apply when those trailers are located outside of permitted trailer camps. Trailers that were already parked outside a permitted camp and used as dwellings before the chapter's effective date may generally stay in place under the village's prior ordinances, but they cannot be moved to a new location without complying with the current chapter. Owners or lessees of such pre-existing trailers are permitted to replace them with a new trailer on the same plot, provided a plot plan is filed with the Village Clerk and the replacement trailer meets all other applicable village ordinances.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 141-13, property owners or managers who have a house trailer parked outside a permitted trailer camp that predates this chapter should be aware that the trailer's grandfathered status is tied to its current location — relocating it within the village triggers full compliance with the chapter's requirements. If replacing an existing trailer with a new one on the same plot, a compliant operator files a plot plan with the Village Clerk that documents the new trailer's dimensions and placement. The replacement trailer must also satisfy all other existing Village of Castleton-on-Hudson ordinances, so operators generally review those requirements before proceeding with any replacement.

Section 141-13 provides that tenants occupying a house trailer outside a permitted trailer camp that was in place before this chapter's effective date have a degree of locational stability — the trailer may remain where it is under the village's prior ordinances. However, if the trailer is moved to a new location or replaced, the provisions of this chapter come into full effect, which may affect the conditions of occupancy. Tenants who have questions about whether their trailer's placement or a proposed replacement complies with § 141-13 may wish to consult the Village of Castleton-on-Hudson directly or reach out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
