Tasmania’s scale
Property transfer duty in Tasmania uses one scale for every buyer, with a $50 minimum and a top marginal rate of 4.5% above $725,000, the lowest top rate on the mainland states’ east coast. There is no owner-occupier rate. Duty is charged per $100 or part of $100 of the dutiable value, which is the higher of the price and the market value.
First home buyers in 2026–27
The temporary 100% duty exemption for first home buyers of established homes valued up to $750,000 applied to transfers settling between 18 February 2024 and 30 June 2026 and is not available for transfers settling after that date, so first home buyers now pay the full scale; no replacement has been legislated. The First Home Owner Grant of $20,000 for new homes continues to 30 June 2027. The 50% pensioner downsizing concession has also ended: it applied only where the former home’s sale settled by 30 June 2025. Check the State Revenue Office for any concession announced after this page was verified.
Payment
Duty is assessed by the State Revenue Office after the transfer is lodged and is payable within three months of the transfer, normally at settlement through your conveyancer. Foreign persons buying residential property pay the foreign investor duty surcharge of 8% on top.
Frequently asked questions
How much is stamp duty on a $600,000 house in Tasmania?
$22,497.50: $12,935 plus $4.25 for every $100 of the $225,000 over $375,000. The same amount applies to investors and owner-occupiers. At $750,000 the duty is $28,935; at $1,000,000 it is $40,185.
Do first home buyers pay stamp duty in Tasmania in 2026–27?
Yes, for transfers settling after 30 June 2026. The 100% exemption for established homes up to $750,000 that ran from February 2024 applied to settlements up to that date.

Is there a different rate for investors in Tasmania?
No. The same scale applies to homes, investment properties and commercial land. Concessions exist for transfers between spouses and relationship breakdown, but not for owner-occupiers generally; the 50% pensioner downsizing concession ended for former-home sales settling after 30 June 2025.
How is Tasmanian duty calculated?
On the dutiable value rounded up to the next $100, with a base amount for the bracket plus a rate per $100 on the excess. A $500,000 home falls in the $375,001 to $725,000 bracket: $12,935 plus $4.25 × 1,250 = $18,247.50. Properties up to $3,000 pay a flat $50.
How much is the foreign buyer surcharge in Tasmania?
The foreign investor duty surcharge is 8% of the dutiable value for residential property and 1.5% for primary production land, in addition to ordinary duty. Citizens, permanent residents and New Zealand citizens on special category visas are not foreign persons.
