Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in Mount Ephraim, New Jersey
New Jersey has no single statewide ADU law. Each of the state's 564 municipalities, Mount Ephraim (Camden County, NJ) included, sets its own zoning for accessory dwelling units (granny flats, in-law suites, backyard homes). Whether you can build one in Mount Ephraim, how big, and how tall depends on the town's ordinance and your specific lot. We have not sourced Mount Ephraim's zoning ordinance yet, so we cannot tell you what Mount Ephraim permits on your lot. That is a gap in our record, not a finding about Mount Ephraim. What we can do today is measure the lot itself: its dimensions, what already sits on it, and its flood exposure.
