Definitions
Operative Text
For the purposes of this chapter, the following words, terms and phrases shall have the meaning ascribed to them in this section: MOBILE HOME A mobile home is any portable vehicle which is designed to be transported on its own wheels or those of another vehicle; which is used, designed to be used and capable of being used as a detached single-family residence; and which is intended to be occupied as permanent living quarters containing sleeping accommodations, flush toilet, a tub or shower, kitchen facilities and plumbing and electrical connections for attachment to outside systems, including but not limited to manufactured homes. MOBILE HOME LOT A mobile home lot is a designed site of specific total land area which is located within a mobile home park for the accommodation of one mobile home and its occupants. MOBILE HOME PARK A mobile home park is any parcel of land which is planned and improved for the placement of two or more mobile homes which are used as dwellings and for occupancy of more than 90 consecutive days. MOBILE HOME STAND A mobile home stand is a durable surface located on a mobile home lot which is to be used for the placement of and capable of supporting a mobile home.

Section 107-3 of Halfmoon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 107 establishes the official definitions that govern the rest of the chapter's mobile home regulations. Key terms defined include "mobile home," "mobile home lot," "mobile home park," "mobile home stand," and "travel trailer," each carrying a specific technical meaning for regulatory purposes. Notably, a mobile home park applies only where two or more mobile homes are placed for occupancy exceeding 90 consecutive days, and travel trailers are treated as a distinct category from mobile homes due to their temporary-use intent.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and owners of mobile home parks in Halfmoon should be familiar with the precise definitions set out in § 107-3, because those definitions determine which properties and structures fall under Chapter 107's requirements. For example, a parcel with two or more units occupied for more than 90 consecutive days qualifies as a "mobile home park" under this section, triggering the chapter's full regulatory framework. Compliant operators generally ensure that each unit placed on a lot meets the definition of a "mobile home" rather than a "travel trailer," since the two categories carry different regulatory implications.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents living in mobile home parks in Halfmoon benefit from understanding the definitions in § 107-3, because a dwelling that qualifies as a "mobile home" on a "mobile home lot" within a "mobile home park" is entitled to the protections and standards established throughout Chapter 107. If a landlord attempts to classify a long-term residential unit as a travel trailer to avoid those protections, the definitions in this section may be relevant to that dispute. Tenants who believe their living situation is being mischaracterized can consult a tenant-rights organization or review the full text of Chapter 107 to understand what standards should apply.
