Can I replace an existing fence without getting a new permit in Camden County?

In most Camden County towns, replacing a fence still requires review. Even when height and location stay the same, townships often verify placement, corner visibility, and material changes. Older fences may not comply with current regulations, especially near sidewalks or intersections. Checking before removal helps avoid stop-work issues.

Are front-yard fences allowed in Camden County towns?

Front-yard fences are allowed in many Camden County municipalities, but limits are strict. Heights are commonly capped at 4 feet, and placement is often measured from the sidewalk or right-of-way. Corner lots and reverse-frontage homes receive closer review. HOAs may further restrict styles, materials, or visibility even when zoning allows fencing.

What is reverse frontage, and why does it matter for fencing in Camden County?

Reverse frontage occurs when a backyard faces a street instead of another yard. In Camden County, these areas are often treated like front yards during review. This affects fence height, style, and placement. Homes along collector roads or near schools frequently fall into this category, making early layout planning important.

How long do fence or deck permits usually take in Camden County?

Timelines vary by township, but zoning review often takes one to three weeks once complete plans are submitted. Projects near sidewalks, at corners, or involving HOA approval can take longer. Deck permits under the construction code may add inspections, which extend the schedule. Clear drawings and early HOA approval reduce delays.

When are inspections required for decks in Camden County?

Deck projects typically require inspections after footing installation, during framing, and at completion. These steps follow New Jersey’s Uniform Construction Code and are scheduled through the township construction office. Missing an inspection can delay progress. Planning inspections into the build schedule helps avoid extended project timelines.

Planning Projects in Camden County

Where sidewalks, corners, and township rules shape every build

Camden County projects are shaped by density and local enforcement. Sidewalks, corner lots, and utility easements often limit placement. Rules change by township, not by county. Suburban areas add HOA reviews and pool safety standards. Tri-State Fence & Deck works across Camden County to plan fences and outdoor projects around right-of-way lines, permit paths, and property layout so that builds move forward without delays or redesigns.

Working Within Tight Footprints

Buildable space in Camden County is shaped by streets, lines, and access

Tri-State Fence & Deck plans layouts around these physical limits so projects fit the lot before approvals even begin.

Permits, HOAs, and Local Authority

In Camden County, approvals hinge on measurements, materials, and the review order

Zoning review sets fence height by yard type. Many townships allow fences up to 6 feet in rear and side yards. Front yards are commonly limited to 4 feet. Corner lots often face lower height limits near intersections.

Deck projects follow construction code review. Decks usually require permits under New Jersey’s Uniform Construction Code. Footings, framing, and final inspections are standard for attached or elevated structures.

HOAs regulate appearance and finishes. In many Camden County communities, HOAs approve neutral colors such as white, almond, tan, gray, and black. Vinyl fencing, aluminum rails, and simple deck finishes are widely accepted.

Projects near streets receive closer review. Front-yard and corner-lot builds often require clearer plans and longer review timelines due to visibility checks.

Utility marking is required after permits are issued. Once approvals are issued, excavation must be cleared through New Jersey One Call (811).

Tri-State Fence & Deck coordinates reviews so dimensions, materials, and approvals align before construction starts.
