N.J. Stat. Ann. § 46:8C-1 et seq. § 46:8C-8
Regulation and licensing by municipality; ordinance
Operative Text
In addition to the powers set forth in R.S. 40:52-1, the governing body of a municipality may, by ordinance, provide for the regulation and licensing of mobile home parks. L.1983, c. 399, s. 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1984.
Under N.J.S.A. 46:8C-1 et seq. § 46:8C-8, New Jersey municipalities are granted the authority to go beyond their standard licensing powers and adopt local ordinances that specifically regulate and license mobile home parks. This provision expands the existing framework under R.S. 40:52-1 by giving local governing bodies a distinct, additional tool to oversee mobile home park operations. The rule does not mandate that municipalities act, but it clearly authorizes them to do so if they choose.
