Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 106-8
Minimum lot area
Operative Text
The minimum lot area of any mobile home lot shall be 7,500 square feet. Larger minimum lot dimensions may be required where the Town Board considers the establishment of larger lots necessary to preserve the character of the general area.
Section 106-8 of Fishkill's Code of Ordinances establishes that every mobile home lot must contain at least 7,500 square feet of area. Beyond that baseline, the Town Board retains authority to require larger lot sizes when it determines that doing so is necessary to protect the character of the surrounding area. This rule applies to the layout and approval of mobile home lots within the town's jurisdiction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers of mobile home parks in Fishkill must ensure that each individual lot meets the 7,500 square-foot minimum set out in § 106-8 before seeking approvals or placing units. Compliant operators also account for the possibility that the Town Board may impose larger lot-size requirements based on the character of the surrounding area, so building in flexibility during the planning stage is a common practice. Reviewing any conditions attached to a site plan approval can help clarify whether enhanced minimums apply to a specific project.

Section 106-8 gives mobile home residents a baseline assurance that their lot must be at least 7,500 square feet, and that any deviation from this standard would require Town Board action. If a tenant believes a lot does not meet this minimum, general enforcement paths include raising the issue with the Fishkill Town Board or a relevant local code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal housing codes can help residents understand what documentation or complaint processes may be available.
