NJ A5301

Property owners may request notification from the county recording officer whenever a quitclaim deed is submitted for recording on their property by providing a preferred mailing address, email address, or both

When a property owner has requested notification, the county recording officer must delay recording the quitclaim deed for 10-12 business days after sending the notification, rather than the standard 2 business days

County recording offices may charge property owners a fee sufficient to cover the administrative costs of the notification program

The bill takes effect on the first day of the third month following enactment to allow recording offices time to adjust their fee structures
