What changed on 1 July 2026

The 100% first-home duty exemption on established homes (dutiable value up to $750,000) applied only to transfers settling between 18 February 2024 and 30 June 2026. It was not extended:

Settlement dateEstablished-home reliefFirst home buyer pays
18 Feb 2024 – 30 Jun 2026Full exemption ≤ $750,000$0 duty (≤ $750K)
From 1 Jul 2026NoneStandard duty

Important: eligibility depends on the settlement (transfer completion) date, not the contract date. Transfers completing after 30 June 2026 pay standard duty even if the contract was signed earlier.

First Home Owner Grant (FHOG)

The remaining first-home support is the First Home Owner Grant, for newly built homes only (not established properties). Eligible transactions commencing from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027 may receive $20,000, down from $30,000 for eligible transactions commencing in 2025-26.

The FHOG is separate from stamp duty. If you buy or build a new home you may receive the grant, but first home buyers of established homes no longer get any stamp duty concession.

FAQ
Is there still a TAS first home buyer stamp duty exemption?
No. Tasmania's 100% duty exemption on established homes up to $750,000 applied only to transfers settling between 18 February 2024 and 30 June 2026. The Tasmanian Government confirmed it was not extended, so from 1 July 2026 first home buyers of established homes pay standard property transfer duty.
What support is left for TAS first home buyers?
The First Home Owner Grant remains, but only for newly built homes (not established properties). Eligible transactions commencing from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027 may receive $20,000. There is no longer a duty concession specifically for first home buyers of established homes.
How much duty will I pay now?
You pay the standard Tasmanian property transfer duty for your purchase price. For example, an established home at $600,000 attracts $22,497.50 in duty — an amount that was fully exempt for eligible first home buyers until 30 June 2026. Enter your price above to calculate your amount.
