Livestock keeping is governed by municipal zoning, not by Camden County. Whether goats, horses, pigs, or cattle are permitted depends on your town's zoning district and lot size under New Jersey's home-rule land use law.
New Jersey counties do not zone, so whether livestock may be kept is set by each municipality under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D). Rural Camden County towns such as Winslow and Waterford may allow livestock on lots meeting minimum acreage or in agricultural zones, while denser boroughs prohibit farm animals in residential districts. Farms may qualify for Right to Farm Act protection (N.J.S.A. 4:1C) if commercially operated on qualifying acreage. Check your municipal zoning code and, for commercial farms, the county agriculture development board. The county handles only health nuisances and vector control.
Keeping prohibited livestock is a municipal zoning violation, enforced locally with per-day fines set by ordinance.
