Shed permit rules in Cherry Hill, NJ — also referred to as storage shed, backyard shed, or accessory building regulations — set size limits, setbacks, and when a building permit is required.
Camden County sets no shed ordinance. In New Jersey, shed size, setbacks, and permit thresholds are decided by each municipality under the Municipal Land Use Law. Ask your town's zoning office in your borough or township before you build.
New Jersey counties do not zone residential accessory structures. Under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D), your municipality's zoning ordinance controls whether a shed needs a zoning permit, how close it may sit to property lines, its maximum height and footprint, and whether large sheds trigger a Uniform Construction Code building permit. Rules differ across Camden County towns such as Haddonfield, Voorhees, Winslow, and Pennsauken. Small sheds under a size threshold are often exempt from a construction permit but may still need a zoning permit. Confirm with your local zoning officer.
Your municipal zoning officer enforces shed rules. A shed built without a required zoning or construction permit can be ordered removed or relocated and can incur local ordinance penalties.
