What it is
The Affidavit of Consideration for Use by Seller (RTF-1) goes with every New Jersey deed, taxable or exempt. The seller signs it and the notary completes the jurat. A deed for a consideration of less than $100 owes no New Jersey realty transfer fee, and the RTF-1 states that exemption in the statute's own words.
