Valatie, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 219 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 219-36
Permit requirements
Operative Text
A. The owner of land, as provided for in § 219-35B , must file an application for a permit with the Village Clerk. B. Each application for a mobile home permit shall be in writing and signed by the applicant. This application must state and be accompanied by the following: (1) The name and address of the applicant. (2) The location and description of land. (3) A plan drawn to scale of not smaller than one inch equals 20 feet. This plan must show the boundaries of the land, the location of the mobile home on the land, the location and plan for the proposed water supply and sewage disposal systems and the location of adjacent properties and structures. (4) A certified or photostatic copy of the deed to the land which indicates that the applicant is the owner of such land. (5) A fee in an amount established by resolution of the Board of Trustees. C. The Village Clerk shall transmit the application to the Village Code Enforcement Official. Upon receipt, the Code Enforcement Official shall review the application's compliance with the provisions of this chapter and the requirements of the Columbia County Department of Health. The Code Enforcement Official shall then transmit the application, along with his written findings, to the Village Board. D. The Village Board shall review the application and the findings of the Code Enforcement Official and by resolution indicate its approval or disapproval. E. The Village Clerk shall notify the applicant of the decision of the Village Board and issue a permit to the applicant if the application was approved. F. If the application was disapproved, the applicant shall have the right to appear before the Village Board for a hearing.
Section 219-36 of Valatie's Code of Ordinances establishes the process by which a landowner must obtain a permit before placing a mobile home on their property. The application, submitted to the Village Clerk, must include a scaled site plan, proof of ownership, contact information, and a fee set by the Board of Trustees. The application then moves through review by the Code Enforcement Official and ultimately requires approval by resolution of the Village Board, with the applicant retaining the right to a hearing if the application is denied.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 219-36, a property owner seeking to place a mobile home on their land generally assembles a complete written application — including a scaled site plan showing water supply and sewage disposal, a certified or photostatic deed copy, and the applicable fee — before submitting it to the Village Clerk. Compliant operators ensure their plans meet both the chapter's requirements and those of the Columbia County Department of Health, since the Code Enforcement Official reviews against both standards before forwarding findings to the Village Board. Keeping copies of all submitted materials and tracking the Board's resolution approving or disapproving the permit is a common practice among operators navigating this process.

Section 219-36 governs the permit process for mobile homes in Valatie, which means any mobile home placement should be backed by a Village Board-approved permit — a fact that can be relevant to a tenant's understanding of whether their home was lawfully sited. If a tenant has questions about whether a valid permit exists for their mobile home's location, they may request public records from the Village Clerk, who is the designated recipient and notifier under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services familiar with New York housing law can help residents understand what remedies or protections may be available if proper permitting was not followed.
