Enhances protections against fraudulent deed recordings.

This bill, the "Property Owner’s Protection Act," requires county recording offices to notify property owners whenever a deed transfer for their property is recorded. To enable this, it mandates that property owners provide preferred contact information (mailing or email) during recording, and recording offices must collect an additional $2 fee per deed to cover notification costs. The bill also requires new deeds to include specific details: a statement of true purchase price, exemption justification for fee-free transfers, "NEW CONSTRUCTION" labeling for new builds, and an affidavit confirming ownership. These changes directly affect property owners, recording offices, and anyone submitting deeds for real estate transfers in New Jersey.
