Camden County does not enforce a countywide weed ordinance. Each municipality prohibits noxious weeds and overgrown vegetation through its property-maintenance code, defining weeds and setting a height trigger, with the town abating uncut lots and billing owners.
In New Jersey, weed control on private lots is a municipal function under home-rule and the property-maintenance code. Camden City's code, for instance, requires premises to be kept free from weeds or plant growth over a set height and bans noxious weeds, while excluding cultivated flowers and gardens. Definitions of 'weed,' the height threshold, and the abatement process differ by town. If a lot in your neighborhood is overgrown, the complaint goes to your borough, township, or city code officer, not Camden County. The county's role is limited to county-owned parcels and rights-of-way.
Notice to cut; if ignored, the municipality removes the growth and charges the cost to the owner as a lien, plus per-violation fines set by local ordinance.
