New Jersey Home Sellers Pay a Sales Tax When They Sell Home

The New Jersey Realty Transfer Fee (RTF) question comes up on a daily basis with sellers...so, I asked my go-to New Jersey Real Estate Attorney Rosemary Stone-Dougherty to shed some light on this topic: 

The New Jersey Realty Transfer Fee (RTF) is essentially a sales tax based on the sale of your home and is paid by the seller. It is strictly calculated off the Deed price of your home and per Statute.
