Camden County does not enforce property maintenance or blight standards. Each municipality (Cherry Hill, Camden, Gloucester Township, Pennsauken, Voorhees, etc.) adopts and enforces its own property maintenance code under New Jersey home-rule authority.
In New Jersey, land use and property maintenance are municipal functions. Counties do not zone or regulate property upkeep; the Municipal Land Use Law, N.J.S.A. 40:55D, vests those powers in each municipality. Blight, dilapidated structures, junk accumulation, and unsafe buildings are addressed through each town's property maintenance code, often the adopted International Property Maintenance Code, enforced by a local code or zoning officer. Camden County's role is limited to county roads, drainage, parks, sewer (CCMUA), and solid-waste district planning. To learn the blight rules for your address, contact your municipal code enforcement or construction office, not the county.
Set by municipal ordinance. Towns typically cite property owners, order abatement, and may impose daily fines or lien cleanup costs against the property.
