Camden County sets no lot-coverage or impervious-surface limit. Under the Municipal Land Use Law, your municipality's zoning ordinance controls how much of your lot can be built on or paved. County review applies only where a project affects county drainage or roads.
Maximum building coverage and impervious-surface coverage are zoning standards set by each Camden County municipality under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-65, not by the county. Limits vary by zone; residential districts often cap total impervious coverage well below 50 percent to manage stormwater. The county's involvement is limited: the County Planning Board reviews a subdivision or site plan only when it affects a county road or county drainage facility, and can require adequate drainage facilities and easements where storm water will drain toward county infrastructure (N.J.S.A. 40:27-6.2). For your project, the binding coverage number is in your town's zoning bulk table; separate state stormwater rules (N.J.A.C. 7:8) may also apply to larger developments.
Municipal zoning officers enforce lot-coverage limits; exceeding them requires a bulk variance from the local zoning board. County drainage conditions are enforced through the county planning board's subdivision/site-plan review.
