Sweden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 134 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 134-13
Issuance, term and transferability of license
Operative Text
A. Upon final plat approval granted by the Planning Board Chairman pursuant to § 134-12C(2)(g) , a mobile home park license shall be granted for the designated lots shown on the final plat. The license shall be renewed annually with a fee in accordance with the fee schedule as hereinabove prescribed by the Town Board. B. Such license shall be valid until January 1 succeeding the date of issuance of such license and shall be renewed annually thereafter by the Town Board if approved by it and upon payment of the fee prescribed in Subsection A above. C. All licenses are transferable, provided that the mobile home park is in compliance with this chapter. Upon application to the Town Clerk and satisfactory inspection by the Code Enforcement Officer, a license shall be issued to the transferee upon payment of a fee in accordance with the fee schedule for the remainder of the term of the license then in effect.
Section 134-13 of Sweden, N.Y.'s Code of Ordinances establishes how mobile home park licenses are issued, renewed, and transferred. A license is granted once the Planning Board Chairman gives final plat approval, remains valid until the following January 1, and must be renewed annually by the Town Board upon payment of the prescribed fee. Licenses may also be transferred to a new owner, provided the park is in compliance with the chapter and the appropriate fee is paid for the remaining term.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 134-13, operators of mobile home parks in Sweden, N.Y. are expected to track their license expiration date—always January 1 following issuance—and submit renewal applications along with the Town Board-prescribed fee before that date. Compliant operators also ensure the park meets all chapter requirements before initiating any ownership transfer, since a satisfactory inspection by the Code Enforcement Officer is required before a license is issued to a transferee. Keeping records of fee payments and inspection results helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with the annual renewal and transfer requirements of this section.

Section 134-13 establishes that the mobile home park where a tenant resides must hold a valid, properly renewed license issued under Sweden, N.Y.'s Code of Ordinances. If a park changes ownership, the new owner must obtain a transferred license only after a Code Enforcement Officer inspection confirms the park is in compliance with the chapter. Tenants who have concerns about whether their park holds a current license under § 134-13 may contact the Sweden Town Clerk's office or consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
