Riverhead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 249 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 249-7
Fees
Operative Text
A. Every owner or lessee of a mobile home park or travel trailer park shall, upon the establishment of such park or the extension of an existing park, pay to the Town Clerk a fee of $2 per lot for each lot, both vacant and in use, shown on the filed map of the park or extension. B. Every owner or lessee of an existing park who holds a temporary mobile home park permit shall pay an annual fee of $1 per lot for each lot in use.
Section 249-7 of Riverhead's Code of Ordinances establishes two distinct fee obligations tied to mobile home parks and travel trailer parks. When a new park is established or an existing park is extended, a one-time fee of $2 per lot—covering both vacant and occupied lots shown on the filed map—is due to the Town Clerk. Separately, owners or lessees of existing parks operating under a temporary permit owe an annual fee of $1 per lot for each lot currently in use.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 249-7, operators establishing a new mobile home or travel trailer park, or expanding an existing one, generally remit a $2-per-lot fee to the Riverhead Town Clerk at the time of establishment or extension, calculated against all lots on the filed map regardless of occupancy. Those holding a temporary mobile home park permit for an existing park typically budget for a recurring annual fee of $1 per occupied lot. Keeping accurate lot counts and filed maps current helps ensure fee calculations align with what the ordinance requires.

Section 249-7 governs fees paid by park owners and lessees to the Town of Riverhead, not fees charged directly to residents. Tenants in a mobile home park or travel trailer park may find it useful to know that these permit-related costs are a regulatory obligation on the park operator, which can be relevant context when reviewing how a park is being managed. Residents with concerns about park compliance or permit status can contact the Riverhead Town Clerk's office or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York mobile home park regulations.
