TAS property transfer duty — 2026-27

How property transfer duty works in Tasmania
This changed on 1 July 2026, and many calculators online are still wrong. Tasmania's full first home buyer duty exemption for homes up to $750,000 was not extended. It ended on 30 June 2026. From 1 July 2026, first home buyers in Tasmania pay exactly the same duty as everyone else. A $20,000 First Home Owner Grant is still available for new homes.
Duty is marginal, the same way income tax is. You do not pay one rate on the whole price. Each slice of the price is taxed at its own rate, and the results are added together. That is why the effective rate you pay is always lower than the top bracket you land in.
First home buyers in TAS: No first home buyer duty relief applies in TAS for 2026-27. Support available: no duty exemption (ended 30 June 2026). Read the full rules on the TAS first home buyer page.

Costs people forget to budget for
Stamp duty is the biggest government cost, but it is not the only one. On a $700,000 purchase in TAS you would also plan for roughly $250 in transfer and mortgage registration fees, plus:
- Conveyancing or legal fees — usually $1,000 to $2,500.
- Building and pest inspection — around $400 to $800 for a house.
- Lenders mortgage insurance — if your deposit is under 20%, this can run to tens of thousands.
- Council and water adjustments — you repay the seller for rates they have already paid.
A rough rule: for a $700,000 home in TAS, set aside about $26,998 for government costs alone, then add professional fees on top.
Common questions
How much is stamp duty on a $700,000 property in TAS?
About $26,748 for an owner-occupier buying an existing home at 2026-27 rates. A first home buyer would pay $26,748 at that price. Registration fees of roughly $250 are on top.
When do I pay property transfer duty in TAS?
Duty is usually paid at settlement, and your conveyancer or solicitor arranges it. Your lender will not release the loan until it is sorted, so budget for it as a cash cost alongside your deposit. Confirm the exact deadline with State Revenue Office Tasmania, because it differs by state.
Can I add property transfer duty to my home loan?
Usually not directly. Stamp duty is an upfront cost that most lenders expect you to pay from your own savings, because it is not part of the property's value. Some buyers borrow more against a larger deposit to cover it, but that depends on the lender and your loan-to-value ratio.
Do I pay duty on the price or the valuation?
You pay on whichever is higher, the price you agreed or the market value of the property. This stops people from cutting the tax by selling to family below market rates.
Is there a foreign buyer surcharge in TAS?
Yes. Foreign buyers pay an extra 8% of the property value on top of normal duty.
