S 1854 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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 surviving civil union partners of disabled veterans from New Jersey's realty transfer fees. Specifically, it applies when the veteran qualified for a property tax exemption at death under existing law (C.54:4-3.30) for their home. The exemption covers both the basic state fee and the supplemental fee for selling a one- or two-family home they owned and occupied. It directly affects eligible veterans' spouses/partners who lose their home sale tax burden, aligning their treatment with current exemptions for disabled homeowners. The change amends existing fee exemption statutes to include this group.
