Exempts certain surviving spouses and surviving civil union partners of certain disabled veterans from components of the realty transfer fee.
This bill exempts surviving spouses and civil union partners of disabled veterans from home sale fees in New Jersey. Specifically, it applies when the veteran qualified for a property tax exemption due to wartime disability at the time of death. The exemption covers both the basic realty transfer fee and the supplemental fee for sales of one- or two-family homes owned and occupied by the survivor. This extends an existing disability-related exemption to veterans' survivors, who previously did not qualify unless they themselves met the disability criteria.
