Camden County has no political-sign ordinance; sign rules are set by your municipality. But in New Jersey a town may not treat political signs more restrictively than other signs, and yard signs on your own property get strong free-speech protection.
Sign regulation is municipal in New Jersey, adopted through each town's zoning ordinance under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D); the county sets no rule. Municipal limits must be content-neutral: per the ACLU of New Jersey, towns may not subject political signs to different or more restrictive treatment than other signs, and reasonable uniform limits on number, placement, and timing are generally permitted. Many older New Jersey ordinances that singled out political signs with size caps or election-based time limits are unenforceable after U.S. Supreme Court content-neutrality rulings. Check your municipal sign ordinance, but know your speech rights on private property.
Municipal zoning officers enforce sign rules and can order non-compliant signs removed. Content-based restrictions targeting political signs are constitutionally vulnerable and often unenforceable.
