Camden County has no dark-sky ordinance. Outdoor lighting standards, shielding, and glare limits are set by your municipality's zoning ordinance under New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law. Some Camden County towns include lighting standards in site-plan rules.
Outdoor and dark-sky lighting requirements in New Jersey are adopted at the municipal level through zoning and site-plan ordinances under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D); the county does not set them. Where a town has dark-sky provisions, they typically require full-cutoff or shielded fixtures, cap fixture height, and limit light spilling beyond property lines, most often applied to commercial site plans and new development. Residential fixture rules vary widely by municipality. For a specific property, review your town's lighting or site-plan standards or ask the municipal zoning office.
Enforced by municipal zoning and code officials, usually through site-plan approval conditions and local ordinance penalties for non-compliant fixtures.
