A 685 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Terminates imposition of general purpose fee under realty transfer fee and one percent assessment on purchases of residential real property selling for more than $1,000,000.

This bill terminates two fees on high-end residential real estate transactions: a "general purpose fee" and a one percent assessment. It specifically applies to purchases of residential properties selling for more than $1,000,000, removing these costs from the property transfer fee structure. The legislation amends existing laws (P.L.1968, c.49 and P.L.2004, c.66) to delete these fee provisions. It directly affects buyers and sellers of luxury homes above the $1 million threshold in New Jersey. The change simplifies the transfer fee process for these high-value transactions.
