Useful offices
The City handles its real-estate-tax bills and payments. County offices have different roles for recorded land documents, estate questions, and tax-board inquiries. Check the office’s official page before going in person.
Atlantic City · real-estate tax bills and payments
Contact the City Property Tax Collector about a city real-estate-tax bill or payment. This is a municipal office, separate from the Atlantic County Clerk and Board of Taxation.
609-347-5630 · City directory contact.
Atlantic County · deeds and other recorded land documents
Use the County Clerk for recording and routing a deed or another recorded land document. The recording page directs documents to the main office in Mays Landing; the Atlantic City satellite listing is not a deed-recording drop-off.
Main office: 5901 Main Street, Mays Landing, NJ 08330-1701 · 609-625-4011.
County directory satellite: County Office Building, 1333 Atlantic Avenue, Atlantic City, NJ 08401 · 609-625-7000 ext. 5246. Call to confirm the service you need; recording documents are directed to Mays Landing.
Atlantic County · estate-related questions
For an estate-linked house, contact the Surrogate’s Office about the estate record and which office or case route applies. The listed locations alone do not determine where a particular case belongs or who may sign for a property.
Main office: 5911 Main Street, Mays Landing, NJ 08330 · 609-645-5800.
Satellite office: 1201 Bacharach Boulevard, Atlantic City, NJ 08401 · 609-343-2341. Call about the case before relying on a location.
Atlantic County · tax-board inquiries

New Jersey sale rule
New Jersey charges the seller a Realty Transfer Fee when the deed is recorded. The amount depends on the sale price and is figured in $500 increments; above $350,000, a higher rate schedule applies to the whole price. A separate Graduated Percent Fee applies to home sales over $1 million unless the transfer is exempt, and its rate applies to the whole price.
Some New Jersey residents who are 62 or older, blind, or disabled may qualify for a reduced Realty Transfer Fee when they own and live in the one- or two-family home they sell. Qualifying low- and moderate-income housing may also receive the reduced rate. If you claim a reduced rate or exemption, ask the title company which sworn form must be filed with the deed and have it calculate the fees for your transaction.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Jersey's realty transfer fee and any applicable graduated percent fee. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
