Transaction Coordinator in Gloucester County, NJ.

What we handle on a Gloucester County file

Gloucester County records through the Erxchange platform rather than the county hosted portal most of South Jersey uses, and it publishes two hard limits that catch out of area closers. Deeds accompanied by GIT/REP-1, GIT/REP-2 or GIT/REP-4 cannot be e-recorded, and neither can a re-recorded document, so those packages have to go in on paper. The counter also stops taking recordings at 3:00 pm, and the office went cashless as of July 1, 2026. Once your deal is ratified, PLS builds and manages the file in your brokerage's transaction platform, tracks every deadline and contingency, routes documents for signature, and coordinates with lender, title, attorneys, and the co-op agent. See the full transaction coordination service for the complete scope, and the New Jersey overview for statewide notes.

Transfer tax in Gloucester County

New Jersey's Realty Transfer Fee is imposed on the seller and runs on two mutually exclusive schedules, which must never be blended. At total consideration of $350,000 or less it is $2.00 per $500 up to $150,000, $3.35 per $500 from $150,000 to $200,000, and $3.90 per $500 from $200,000 to $350,000. Above $350,000 a different schedule applies to the whole amount: $2.90 per $500 up to $150,000, $4.25 per $500 to $200,000, $4.80 per $500 to $550,000, $5.30 per $500 to $850,000, $5.80 per $500 to $1,000,000, and $6.05 per $500 above that. Reduced schedules exist for senior, blind, disabled, and low and moderate income sellers, and a notarized Form RTF-1 must be annexed to the deed to claim one. Consideration over $1,000,000 also triggers the Graduated Percent Fee that replaced the old 1 percent mansion tax on July 10, 2025 under P.L. 2025 c. 69: 1 percent above $1,000,000, 2 percent above $2,000,000, 2.5 percent above $2,500,000, 3 percent above $3,000,000, and 3.5 percent above $3,500,000, charged as a straight percentage of the entire consideration rather than as brackets. Liability for it shifted from the buyer to the seller, and the Division of Taxation is explicit that the operative date is when the deed is submitted for recording, not the closing date. Form RTF-1EE must be annexed to every deed over $1,000,000 and to every commercial transfer. There is no separate Gloucester County transfer tax.

Recording a deed in Gloucester County

The Gloucester County Clerk, Record Room sits at 1 North Broad Street, Woodbury, New Jersey 08096, 856-853-3259. The current recording fee is $30 for the first page of a deed. Additional recorded pages are $10 each, and there is a $10 charge for either a marginal notation or an abstract. A deed recorded by a municipality is $8. E-recording runs through Erxchange under N.J.A.C. 15:3-9, and the convenience fee that portal counties once charged was suspended effective April 1, 2019. The office is cashless as of July 1, 2026.

The deed needs Realty Transfer Fee payment with the RTF-1 or RTF-1EE where applicable, a GIT/REP seller residency form, the grantee's mailing address, block and lot, acknowledgment and the preparer's printed name, plus the cover sheet that has been required statewide since May 1, 2017. Gloucester will not accept a deed for e-recording if it carries GIT/REP-1, GIT/REP-2 or GIT/REP-4, and re-recorded documents cannot be e-recorded either. Recording at the counter stops at 3:00 pm, with the office open from 8:30 am.

Where these figures come from

The county-level figures on this page come from the official sources listed below. Municipal fees and deadlines come from each municipality's own published schedules and ordinances, which are revised more often than they are archived. We publish what we could verify and leave out what we could not. Fees and ordinances change; if you are relying on a figure here for a live file, confirm it with the issuing office, and tell us if you find a discrepancy so we can correct the page.
