A 791 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Exempts senior citizens and blind or disabled persons from certain realty transfer fees.

This bill exempts senior citizens (65+), blind individuals, and disabled persons from specific state fees when buying or selling their primary residence. It waives the State portion of the basic fee and general purpose fee for sales by these individuals and the 1% fee for purchases exceeding $1 million. The exemption applies only to one- or two-family homes owned and occupied by the qualifying seller or buyer, and excludes jointly owned properties where not all owners qualify. Fees saved through these exemptions would be redirected to New Jersey's Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The policy change directly benefits qualifying homeowners in property transactions.
