Marlborough, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 102 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 102-6
A. It shall be unlawful for any person to establish, maintain or operate or permit to be maintained or operated upon any property owned or controlled by him a mobile home park or a trailer park within the Town of Marlborough without having first secured a license therefor in compliance herewith. Such a license shall expire on May 1 following the date of issuance, but may be renewed under the provisions of this chapter for the additional period of one (1) year. B. The application for such license or renewal thereof shall be filed with the Town Clerk and shall be accompanied by the fee as provided herein. The license fee shall be the amount as set by resolution of the Town Board. The first year's annual fee shall be apportioned to the period of time remaining until May 1 of the following year. Such application shall include the name and address of the applicant, the nature and extent of his interest in the business for which a license is desired and whether he is the owner of the property (if the fee is vested in some person other than the applicant, a duly verified statement by that person that the applicant is authorized by him to construct or maintain the trailer park and make the application) and such a legal description of the premises upon which the trailer park is located or will be located as will readily identify and definitely locate the premises. The application shall be verified and shall also state the number of units in said proposed park and such other information as may be required. It shall be accompanied by two (2) copies of the park plan, drawn to scale on a survey map prepared by a professional engineer or architect duly licensed by the State of New York, showing the following: (1) The extent and area used for park purposes. (2) Roadways, driveways and walkways. (3) The location of sites or units for house trailers. (4) The separate location of parking facilities for automobiles and tow vehicles. (5) The location and number of sanitary conveniences, including toilets, washrooms, laundries and utility rooms. (6) The method and plan of sewage disposal. (7) The method and plan of refuse disposal or removal. (8) The plan for water supply. (9) The plan for electrical lighting of units and park roadways and walkways. C. The Town Clerk shall immediately submit said application and plan to the Town Board, who shall examine the same and inspect the property and, after holding a public hearing thereon, either approve or disapprove the application within sixty (60) days. D. If the application is granted, the license shall be issued by the Town Clerk. If the application is disapproved by the Town Board, it shall be endorsed accordingly, together with the reason for such disapproval. Any person deeming himself aggrieved by the action of the Town Board may, within thirty (30) days thereafter, apply to the Town Board for review of such action. The Town Board may reaffirm, reverse or modify its determination and may direct the Town Clerk to issue or refuse such license.

For Property Managers

Under § 102-6, operators of mobile home or trailer parks in Marlborough must obtain a license from the Town Clerk before establishing or continuing operations, and must renew it each year before May 1. A compliant operator submits a complete application—including two copies of a scaled survey plan by a licensed New York engineer or architect covering roadways, sanitary facilities, sewage, water supply, and electrical plans—along with the applicable fee set by Town Board resolution. Operators who receive a denial generally have 30 days to request a formal review by the Town Board, which may reaffirm, reverse, or modify its original determination.

For Tenants

Section 102-6 requires that any mobile home park or trailer park operating in Marlborough hold a current, valid license issued through the Town Clerk, meaning residents have an interest in knowing whether their park is properly licensed. If a park is operating without a license or has had its license denied, tenants may raise that status as a relevant concern when interacting with local officials or the Town Board. Tenants who believe their park is out of compliance with § 102-6 can contact the Town of Marlborough directly or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available to them.
