Essex County, anchored by Newark, is heavy on multi-family housing — two-families, three-families, four-families. East Orange and Irvington sellers often own occupied multi-units.
Newark and East Orange tax rates are 2.5-3.5% of assessed value; tax-delinquency is common and Tony's title company handles back-tax payoff routinely.
Essex County multi-family closings often involve tenant-occupied units, lease estoppel certificates, and security-deposit transfer paperwork.
