Waterford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 104 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 104-2
Purpose
Operative Text
It is the purpose of this chapter to regulate the maintenance of mobile homes and mobile home parks within the Town of Waterford and to prescribe regulations for said parks, to regulate the parking and location of mobile homes outside of said park within the Town of Waterford and to require that mobile home parks within the Town of Waterford be laid out and constructed in accordance with approved plans.
Section 104-2 of Waterford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 104 establishes the overarching purpose of the town's mobile home regulations. The provision sets out that the chapter governs the upkeep of mobile homes and the parks that contain them, controls where mobile homes may be parked or situated outside of designated parks, and requires that mobile home parks be designed and built according to officially approved plans. This is a foundational statement of intent rather than an operational rule, framing the scope of all subsequent requirements in the chapter.
