This permit shall be renewed annually and must be kept current in order to operate a park. If the applicant for a permit is not the owner of the manufactured home park to which the application pertains, the application shall be accompanied by an original or certified copy of a lease of the premises to the applicant and a statement signed and acknowledged by the owner or owners of the premises consenting that the premises be used as a manufactured home park. Permits shall not be transferable or assignable.

The map shall indicate if each lot is vacant or occupied at the time of application. Additional information required shall include: (a) The name and address of the owner of the manufactured home. (b) The name and address of each occupant of the manufactured home and specifically identifying occupants that are within the age requirements to attend public schools as of July 1 each year. (c) The registration year and number of the manufactured home and the state in which so registered.

(e) A colored photograph showing the exterior of the home. (f) The number and issuance date of the certificate of occupancy. (g) The number and address of the manufactured home lot upon which such manufactured home is located. (h) The date of the departure of the manufactured home from the park. (3) Upon receipt of the completed application and required annual fee, and approval of the application, the Code Enforcement Officer shall issue such permit to be effective for a period of one year commencing on the date of approval. (4) After 120 days from the date of adoption of this chapter, no new building permits will be issued until the annual permit described in § 134-6B of this chapter is obtained. B. Permit renewal for manufactured home parks. A completed application and annual fee for the renewal of any manufactured home park permit shall be submitted to the Code Enforcement Officer on or before the 60th day before the expiration date of the current permit. C. Fees. To defray a portion of the cost incurred by the Town for permitting, inspection and compliance verification, the owner of a manufactured home park shall pay an annual fee. The amount of the fee shall be $100, plus $10 for each lot, whether occupied or vacant.
Section 134-6 of the Stillwater, N.Y., Code of Ordinances requires that all manufactured home parks in existence when this chapter took effect obtain an initial operating permit from the Code Enforcement Officer within 60 days of the chapter's adoption. The permit must be renewed annually, and operating a park without a current permit is not allowed. Each application — initial or renewal — must include a scaled map of all lots, detailed information about each manufactured home and its occupants, and an annual fee of $100 plus $10 per lot. Permits are non-transferable, and if the applicant is not the park owner, supporting documentation from the owner is required.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks in Stillwater should be aware that § 134-6 requires an initial permit application to the Code Enforcement Officer within 60 days of the chapter's adoption, followed by annual renewals submitted at least 60 days before the current permit expires. A compliant operator maintains a current scaled lot map, keeps occupant and manufactured home records up to date, and pays the annual fee of $100 plus $10 per lot. Because permits are non-transferable, any change in park operator or ownership requires fresh documentation, including owner consent and any applicable lease copies.

Under § 134-6 of the Stillwater Code of Ordinances, the park where a manufactured home is located is required to hold a current, annually renewed operating permit issued by the Code Enforcement Officer. Residents may find it useful to know that the permit application requires the park operator to provide accurate information about each home and its occupants, including school-age children. Tenants who have questions about whether a park's permit is current can contact the Stillwater Code Enforcement Officer directly, or reach out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
