Stamp duty in Tasmania, also known as land transfer duty, is a once-off tax paid upon purchasing a property. Our calculator will help you calculate stamp duty on owner-occupied homes in Tasmania, as well as any first home buyer concessions that may apply.
Stamp duty in Tasmania is calculated on a sliding scale based on the property value. The same rates apply to owner-occupiers and investors.
Duty starts at a flat $50 for properties up to $3,000 and rises to $27,810 plus $4.50 per $100 above $725,000. You can see the full table on the State Revenue Office of Tasmania website (sro.tas.gov.au).
The transfer fee is required to register the transfer of title. In Tasmania, this is a flat fee of $256.76.
The mortgage registration fee is required if you are buying with a home loan. It is a flat fee of $167.58.
These fees apply from 1 July 2026 for the 2026-27 financial year.
Not currently. The stamp duty exemption for first home buyers of established homes valued up to $750,000 ended for transfers settling after 30 June 2026. The earlier 50% concession ended in February 2024.
First home buyers now pay the standard rates, and our calculator reflects this.
If you are buying or building a new home, you may be eligible for the First Home Owner Grant, which is $20,000 for transactions from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. See the State Revenue Office of Tasmania website for current programs.
Tasmania has a foreign purchaser duty surcharge, calculated as 8% of the property value.
You are not considered a foreign owner if you are any of the following:
In Tasmania, if you are a foreign owner jointly purchasing with your non-foreign owner partner, you may be exempt from paying the foreign owner duty. This requires the home to be an existing home, and to be a primary place of residence within 6 months of purchase. Different criteria applies for vacant land.
Please note that you may be subject to other costs, in addition to this duty surcharge.
