Camden County does not cap building height. New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law puts height limits in each town's zoning ordinance, which sets maximum stories and feet by zoning district. The county planning board reviews only county-road or drainage impacts.
Maximum building height, in feet and in stories, is a zoning matter set by your municipality under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-65, which authorizes municipal zoning ordinances to regulate the bulk, height, and number of stories of buildings. Camden County sets no height cap. Limits vary by zone: a single-family district may cap homes around 35 feet or 2.5 stories, while downtown redevelopment zones in Camden City allow much taller structures. The county's role is limited to subdivision and site-plan review affecting county roads and drainage. To learn your allowed height, read your municipality's zoning bulk table for your district, and apply to the local zoning board of adjustment for a variance.
Municipal zoning officers enforce height limits. Exceeding the district maximum requires a use or bulk variance from the local zoning board of adjustment, or the structure must be modified.
