FAQ
Is there still a first home buyer stamp duty exemption in Tasmania?
No. Tasmania's 100% stamp duty exemption for first home buyers of established homes valued up to $750,000 applied only to transfers settling between 18 February 2024 and 30 June 2026. It was not extended. From 1 July 2026, first home buyers of established homes pay standard property transfer duty administered by the TAS State Revenue Office.
What first home buyer support does Tasmania still offer?
The First Home Owner Grant continues for newly built homes only. From 1 July 2026 it is $20,000 ($10,000 base + $10,000 additional), down from the earlier $30,000 boost, and is subject to the passage of legislation. There is no longer a stamp duty concession for first home buyers of established homes.
How much duty will a Tasmanian first home buyer pay now?
The standard Tasmanian property transfer duty for the purchase price. For example, an established home around $600,000 attracts roughly $22,700 in duty — an amount that was fully exempt for first home buyers until 30 June 2026.
