Water and sewer systems; placement of mobile homes
Operative Text
A. Any mobile home parked or placed outside a duly permitted mobile home park shall have an adequate supply of pure water for drinking and domestic purposes and a sewage disposal system. Both systems shall satisfy the requirements of the Columbia County Department of Health. B. No occupied mobile home outside a duly permitted mobile home park shall be parked or placed nearer than: (1) A distance of at least 50 feet to the nearest right-of-way line of any public highway or street. (2) A distance of at least 15 feet to an adjacent property line. C. Not more than one occupied mobile home shall be placed or parked on any parcel of land which is located outside a permitted mobile home park.
Section 219-37 of Valatie, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 219 establishes health and placement standards for mobile homes located outside of permitted mobile home parks. Any such mobile home must be connected to an adequate pure water supply and an approved sewage disposal system, both meeting Columbia County Department of Health requirements. The provision also sets minimum distance rules — at least 50 feet from any public highway or street right-of-way line and at least 15 feet from adjacent property lines — and limits each parcel outside a permitted park to no more than one occupied mobile home.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers who allow a mobile home to be placed or parked outside a permitted mobile home park in Valatie must ensure compliance with § 219-37 before the unit is occupied. Compliant operators typically verify that water and sewage systems meet Columbia County Department of Health standards, confirm that the placement respects the 50-foot highway setback and 15-foot property-line setback, and ensure that no more than one occupied mobile home is situated on the parcel. Maintaining documentation of health department approvals and site measurements is a practice commonly associated with ongoing compliance.
