Ellicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 84 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 84-12
Existing mobile homes, mobile home courts and trailers
Operative Text
Mobile home courts legally situated in the town prior to the effective date of this chapter shall be deemed approved as to location and size but shall be subject to the remaining regulatory provisions of this chapter, and permits therefor must be acquired within 60 days of the enactment of this chapter.
Under Ellicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 84 § 84-12, mobile home courts that were lawfully established in the town before this chapter took effect receive automatic approval for their existing location and size — they do not need to re-justify where they sit or how large they are. However, that grandfathered status does not exempt them from all other requirements in the chapter; the remaining regulatory provisions still apply. Additionally, operators of these pre-existing courts were required to obtain the appropriate permits within 60 days of the chapter's enactment.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home courts covered by Ellicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 84 § 84-12 generally ensure that their facility's permit was secured within the 60-day window following the chapter's enactment, even if the court predates the law. While location and size are treated as approved for qualifying pre-existing courts, compliant operators also review and adhere to every other regulatory provision in Chapter 84 that applies to their operation. Maintaining documentation of the court's legal status prior to the chapter's effective date is a common practice for demonstrating grandfathered standing.
