Saugeen Shores Council has approved a complete review of the by-law that regulates the two parks.
The biggest change in policy is that if someone sells a trailer that is 20 years old or more, it has to be removed from the site and the new occupant has to have a younger trailer.
Real estate signage is also banned in the parks.
Deputy Mayor Doug Freiburger says trailers should be removed based on their condition and not how old they are.
Councillor Fred Schildroth says the town should inspect older trailers to decide if they should go or stay.
The Electrical Safety Authority already has the ability to go in and check trailers for electrical problems.
Community Services Director Mike Myatt says many private tourist camps use a year limit that is less than what Saugeen Shores is using.
Myatt says the idea of the policy is to improve the overall appearance of the trailer parks.
He says there has been a lot of discussion about the changes to the by-law which is meant to keep the parks in up to date condition.
Myatt says the entire by-law has been revamped “from top to bottom.”
Other changes to the tourist camp by-law include limiting the number of times a trailer can be passed from one family member to another, and placing responsibility on trailer owners for any tree removal or utility lines that have to be altered.
