Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 139 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 139-20
Failure to notify of location or to obtain permit
Operative Text
Failure on the part of an owner of property upon which a mobile home is placed to notify the Village Clerk of the placement of said mobile home and failure of the owner of said mobile home to obtain a permit for such mobile home located within the Village limits within 30 days after the enactment of this chapter shall subject the owner of said mobile home or the owner of said land on which said mobile home is placed to the penalties provided in § 139-22 of this chapter.
Under Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 139 § 139-20, two related obligations apply when a mobile home is placed within Village limits: the property owner must notify the Village Clerk of the placement, and the mobile home owner must obtain a permit. If either obligation goes unfulfilled within 30 days of the chapter's enactment, both the mobile home owner and the landowner become subject to the penalties set out in § 139-22 of the same chapter. The provision applies to existing placements at the time the chapter took effect, not just future ones.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners in Highland Falls who have a mobile home on their land should be aware that § 139-20 requires them to notify the Village Clerk of that placement within the timeframe established when the chapter was enacted. Compliant operators generally document their notification to the Village Clerk and confirm that the mobile home owner has separately obtained the required permit. Failure to complete either step can expose the landowner to the penalty provisions referenced in § 139-22.

Mobile home residents in Highland Falls whose homes are situated on land they do not own should be aware that § 139-20 places the permit obligation on the mobile home owner, meaning the resident may bear responsibility for obtaining that permit. Tenants who are uncertain about their permit status or who face enforcement action under this provision may benefit from reviewing § 139-22 to understand the associated penalties. Local tenant-rights organizations or a housing attorney familiar with Highland Falls ordinances can help clarify what steps are generally available in such situations.
