Camden County sets no shared-fence rule. Placement, cost-sharing, and the finished side belong to your town's zoning ordinance and to New Jersey civil property law. Many Camden County towns, such as Cherry Hill, require the finished side of a fence to face outward toward the neighbor.
New Jersey has no statewide "good-neighbor" fence-cost statute, and Camden County does not regulate boundary fences. Rules on where a fence may sit, encroachment, and which side faces out come from each municipality's zoning ordinance plus civil property law. Cherry Hill Township requires that the finished side of all fencing face outward and that fences be installed within your own property lines without encroaching on a recorded easement or public right-of-way. Corner-lot visibility rules also apply so a fence does not block safe traffic sight lines. For a genuine boundary dispute, a property survey and the towns's zoning officer, not the county, are the right starting points.
Handled by the municipal zoning officer and, for disputes over the property line itself, through civil action. Encroaching fences may have to be moved at the owner's expense.
