Camden County does not zone. Whether a home occupation is allowed — and its conditions — is set by your municipality under New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D). Towns like Cherry Hill, Gloucester Township, Voorhees and Pennsauken each define permitted home occupations in their zoning code.
New Jersey counties have no zoning power; land use is home rule under the MLUL, N.J.S.A. 40:55D-65, which authorizes each municipality's zoning ordinance to regulate the uses of land and buildings. A 'home occupation' is typically treated as an accessory use limited to the resident, a capped share of floor area, no outside employees and no external evidence of the business. The exact standards vary town by town — Cherry Hill, Gloucester Township, Winslow and Haddonfield each set their own limits and permit triggers. The Camden County Planning Board reviews only site plans and subdivisions that affect a county road or county drainage, not a home business. Check your municipal zoning office or eCode360 page.
Operating a non-permitted home occupation is enforced by the municipal zoning officer with a notice to comply and per-day fines under the town's ordinance. Camden County issues no home-business zoning penalties.
