Owego Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 142 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 142-3
Scope
Operative Text
This article shall apply to mobile homes used or intended to be used for year-round dwelling accommodations in fixed locations.
Section 142-3 of Owego Village's Code of Ordinances limits the reach of Chapter 142 to mobile homes that are used, or are intended to be used, as year-round residences at fixed locations. Mobile homes that are temporary, seasonal, or not situated at a fixed site fall outside the scope of this article. The provision effectively draws a boundary around which housing units the rest of the chapter's rules govern.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and owners of mobile home properties in Owego Village should be aware that § 142-3 brings any mobile home occupied or intended for year-round, fixed-location dwelling under the full requirements of Chapter 142. A compliant operator generally confirms whether each unit on their property meets the year-round, fixed-location criteria before determining which regulatory obligations apply. Units that are clearly seasonal or transient in nature may fall outside the article's scope, but the distinction matters for compliance purposes.
