REALTY
TRANSFER FEE (RTF) RATE CHANGES
EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1ST, 2004
Please
be advised that state legislation was recently signed into law which has
increased the Realty Transfer Fee rates and applies to real property transfers
and deed recordings in addition to requiring the filing of a Gross Income
Tax Withholding on the transfer of real property by nonresidents of New
Jersey.
The
new Realty Transfer Fee rates go into effect on all deeds that are dated
August 1, 2004 or later. Any deed that arrives in our office for recording
dated August 1, 2004 or later must include the new fee rate or it will
be returned to you.
Below
is some information on the new rate increases. However, we urge you to
please go to the NJ Division of Taxation Website at www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation
for continual updates and specific additional information related to the
fee increase and to obtain the revised Affidavit of Consideration form
along with the new Seller's Residency Certification/Exemption & NonResident
Seller's Tax Declaration forms.
