Atlantic County, New Jersey Recording Fees
Recording a deed in Atlantic County costs about $50 and a mortgage about $180 (a 2-page deed and a 16-page mortgage), per the Atlantic County Clerk, Recording Division's fee schedule, effective 2003-07-21. New Jersey county clerk recording fees are set by state statute (N.J.S.A. 22A:4-4.1, in effect statewide since 7/21/2003): $40.00 for the first page of a deed plus $10.00 for each additional page, and $30.00 for the first page of a mortgage plus $10.00 for each additional page. These are the statewide-typical rates. Some county clerks (reportedly Hudson and Ocean) charge more, so confirm the Atlantic County fee with the Atlantic County Clerk.

County transfer tax
New Jersey's Realty Transfer Fee (RTF), including the supplemental fee on transfers over $1,000,000, is set entirely at the state level under N.J.S.A. 46:15-5 et seq. and simply collected by the county clerk at deed recording. No New Jersey county, including Atlantic, adds its own separate local transfer tax on top of the state RTF. Atlantic City itself has no special municipal transfer tax (its Casino Reinvestment Development Authority fees apply to casino projects, not ordinary residential real estate transfers).
