Limits on the number of dogs or cats per household are set by your municipality, not by Camden County. State law only requires that dogs seven months or older be licensed; per-home caps are local.
New Jersey does not set a statewide cap on pets per home. Under N.J.S.A. 4:19-15.1 every dog of licensing age (seven months, or with permanent teeth) must be licensed annually through the municipality, but the number allowed before a kennel license or nuisance limit applies is a municipal decision. Many Camden County towns cap the number of dogs (commonly three to five) before requiring a kennel license, and some cap cats. Because caps and kennel thresholds differ town to town, confirm with your municipal clerk or code office before adding pets.
Exceeding a local pet cap without a kennel license is a municipal ordinance violation; unlicensed dogs carry a $5 to $50 penalty under state law.
