Camden County has no grass-height or weed ordinance. Each municipality sets its own limit (commonly 8-10 inches) and enforces it through local code enforcement.
Tall-grass and weed regulation is a classic municipal function in New Jersey, authorized by N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.13, which lets a municipality require owners to cut brush, weeds, and grass and, on default, cut it and charge the cost. Camden County does not set or enforce a countywide grass-height limit. Towns such as Cherry Hill, Gloucester Township, and Pennsauken typically cap lawn and weed growth at roughly 8 to 10 inches and give owners written notice before abating. The exact height threshold, notice period, and fine depend entirely on your municipality's ordinance, so confirm with your town before assuming a countywide rule applies.
Municipal fines plus abatement: the town may cut the grass and place the cost as a lien on the property under N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.13.
