Every calculated fee, sourced. Realty Transfer Fee: N.J.S.A. 46:15-7 schedule (senior/disabled partial-exemption rates applied when selected). Graduated Percent Fee ("mansion tax"): N.J.S.A. 46:15-7.2 as amended eff. July 10, 2025 — seller-paid, each rate applies to the entire consideration; covers Class 2 residential, co-op units, farmland with residence, and Class 4A commercial. Title premiums: NJ Land Title Insurance Rating Bureau Manual eff. Nov. 1, 2023 — §4.2 rate schedule ($5.25 / $4.25 / $2.75 / $2.00 per $1,000 or fraction), §4.1 minimum $200, §3.4 simultaneous-issue loan policy $25, §4.8 enhanced coverage at 120%, §6.6 Closing Protection Letter $75. Recording: statewide county schedule — deed $40 first page + $10 per page, mortgage $30 first page + $10 per page, Notice of Settlement $20 per filing, plus the $3 per-document surcharge Bergen County imposes under the Homelessness Trust Fund Act. Non-resident seller estimated tax (GIT/REP): the greater of 10.75% of gain or 2% of consideration — the 2% statutory minimum is shown; NJ residents and §121 principal-residence sales are exempt. Tax proration: NJ quarterly billing (due Feb/May/Aug/Nov 1), assumes the seller has paid the current quarter; the buyer reimburses closing day through quarter-end. Prepaid interest: per-diem (loan × rate ÷ 365) from closing to month-end. Rates verified against primary sources Aug. 22, 2026.
