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 imposed in 2003. The supplemental fee had a graduated structure, with a higher rate for higher-priced properties. 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." With the passage of this bill, the supplemental fee will no longer be collected, simplifying the realty transfer fee structure.
