Camden County sets no general fence requirements; your town's zoning ordinance does. One statewide requirement applies everywhere: private swimming pools must be enclosed by a barrier, generally at least 4 feet high with self-latching gates, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.
General fence requirements (height, placement, sight lines, easements) are set by each Camden County municipality under the Municipal Land Use Law, not by the county. Cherry Hill Township, for example, requires fences to be installed within property lines, to keep clear sight distance for traffic, and not to block natural water flow. The one requirement that is consistent countywide is pool fencing: New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code (residential swimming-pool barrier provisions) requires a private pool to be enclosed by a barrier a minimum of about 4 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates. Cherry Hill mirrors this, requiring pool enclosure fences at least 4 feet high with self-locking gates that open outward, in accordance with the UCC.
Municipal zoning officers enforce general fence rules; the local construction official enforces pool-barrier requirements under the Uniform Construction Code. Missing pool barriers are a serious safety violation.
