First home buyers in TAS

From 1 July 2026 there is no first home buyer duty exemption for established homes in Tasmania — the scheme that applied until 30 June 2026 has ended. If your contract was signed before 1 July 2026, check with the SRO which rules apply. First home buyers may still be eligible for other grants, which are separate from duty.

Foreign buyers

Foreign persons pay a foreign investor duty surcharge on residential and primary production property, on top of duty. Check the current rate with SRO Tasmania — the calculator’s Foreign buyer option includes it.

Registration fees and total government costs

The Land Titles Office charges $256.76 to register a transfer and $167.58 to register a mortgage (from 1 July 2026). At $600,000 that makes total government costs of $22,922 for a home you’ll live in (duty plus both fees). See stamp duty fees vs total government costs to compare states.

When is TAS stamp duty paid?

Duty is usually paid at settlement through your conveyancer.
