Vacant land concessions

For vacant land where you will build your first home, SRO assesses only the land's dutiable value and excludes the building contract:

Full exemption Up to $600,000
Sliding scale $600,001 – $750,000

You must move in by the earlier of 12 months after the occupancy certificate is issued or 36 months after settlement, then live there for 12 continuous months.

First Home Owner Grant (FHOG)

Victoria offers a $10,000 First Home Owner Grant for new homes valued up to $750,000. This is separate from stamp duty concessions and can be received in addition.

The home must be new and not previously sold, occupied, leased or used for short-term accommodation. The calculator does not add the grant to the cash total.

FAQ
Do vacant land purchases use different first-home thresholds?
No. Eligible vacant land uses the same full exemption up to $600,000 and concession from $600,001 to $750,000. Enter the dutiable value of the land only, excluding the building contract.
Does foreign purchaser additional duty apply?
All purchasers must meet the citizenship or permanent-residency requirement to qualify for the first-home duty exemption or concession. If a foreign purchaser is involved, the first-home estimate may not apply and SRO Victoria should assess the transaction.
