Camden County government sets no countywide lawn-height limit. In New Jersey, grass and weed height is regulated by each municipality under home-rule property-maintenance codes, typically capping growth around 8-10 inches. Check your borough or township code.
New Jersey counties do not zone or set property-maintenance standards; that authority belongs to the municipality under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D). Camden County's 37 municipalities each adopt their own overgrown-vegetation ordinance, usually as part of a property-maintenance chapter. Camden City, for example, prohibits weeds or plant growth in excess of a set height and treats overgrowth as a maintenance violation. Enforcement, the exact height trigger, and abatement (cut-and-lien) all vary by town, so residents must consult their own borough, township, or city clerk rather than the county.
Municipal code enforcement; typical penalties are notice to abate, then town cutting the lot and billing the owner or placing a lien, plus per-day fines.
