Additional Forms
The New Jersey Division of Treasury requires additional forms to be filed with the deed[5]:

- GIT/REP-1: Nonresident Seller’s Tax Declaration – Grantors residing outside of New Jersey must complete this form.
- GIT/REP-2: Nonresident Seller’s Tax Prepayment Receipt – This must accompany the Nonresident Seller’s Tax Declaration.
- RTF-1: Affidavit of Consideration for Use by Seller – This form is to be filed with any deed that claims an exemption from the Realty Transfer Fee, if the consideration is not reported on the deed, or if the property is a commercial, industrial, or apartment property.
A cover sheet may also be required, depending on the county.[6] Individuals should check with their local office to ensure they meet all the documentation requirements.
