Bill Summary

This bill eliminates the supplemental realty transfer fee imposed by P.L.2003, c.113, which took effect on July 14, 2003. The supplemental fee has a graduated structure. It is $0.25 for each $500 of the selling price not in excess of $150,000, $0.85 for each $500 of the selling price in excess of $150,000 but not in excess of $200,000, and $1.40 for each $500 of the selling price in excess of $200,000. Counties retain $0.25 of for each $500 of the selling price and remit the remainder to the State. The supplemental fee also includes an additional fee of $1.00 for each $500 of the selling price not in excess of $150,000 that is exempt from $1.00 of the basic fee as "new construction". The State receives all of the proceeds.

AI Summary

This bill eliminates the supplemental realty transfer fee that was imposed in 2003. The supplemental fee had a graduated structure, with a higher rate for properties with a selling price over $150,000 and $200,000. Counties retained a portion of the fee, while the state received the remainder, including an additional $1 fee for properties under $150,000 that were considered "new construction." This bill repeals the supplemental fee section of the law, effectively removing this additional charge on real estate transactions.
