Camden County does not restrict fence materials. Individual municipalities do, through their zoning ordinances. Common allowed materials include wood, chain link, aluminum, and vinyl; many towns restrict or prohibit barbed wire, razor wire, and electrified fencing in residential zones.
There is no county-wide fence-material rule in Camden County; material restrictions live in each municipality's zoning ordinance under the Municipal Land Use Law. Cherry Hill Township's fence guidance lists wood, chain link, aluminum, and vinyl as typical fence types shown on a permit application, and requires the finished side to face outward. Many New Jersey municipalities separately prohibit barbed wire, razor wire, and electrified fences in residential districts and restrict them to industrial or agricultural uses. Because the specifics vary, ask your own municipal zoning office (Camden City, Cherry Hill, Gloucester Township, Pennsauken, Voorhees, Haddonfield, Winslow) which materials are allowed in your zone before purchasing fencing.
Enforced by the municipal zoning officer. Prohibited materials such as barbed or razor wire in a residential zone typically must be removed, with zoning-ordinance penalties applying.
