Tiny home rules in Camden County, NJ — covering tiny houses on wheels (THOWs), park model RVs, and tiny home on foundation builds — determine where they are legal and how they get permitted.
Camden County does not have a tiny-home ordinance. Whether a tiny home is allowed depends on your municipality's zoning and New Jersey's construction code. Movable tiny homes on wheels are usually treated as RVs, not permanent dwellings.
New Jersey has no county tiny-home rule; permission is a municipal zoning question under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D). A tiny home on a permanent foundation is a dwelling and must meet your municipality's minimum dwelling and zoning requirements plus the Uniform Construction Code (N.J.A.C. 5:23). A tiny home on wheels is generally classified as a recreational vehicle and is not allowed as a permanent residence in most residential zones. Camden County towns each set their own minimum floor-area and dwelling standards, so verify locally.
Your municipal zoning and construction officials enforce dwelling standards. Living in a non-conforming or unpermitted tiny home can bring occupancy denial and local ordinance penalties.
