QLD First Home Buyers Stamp Duty Discounts – established/new homes

  • If you’re buying vacant land to build your first home, you pay zero stamp duty as long as you pay $400,000 or less for your block. That’s a saving of $5,250 on the regular cost of stamp duty.
  • If your first home is valued up to $500,000, you pay zero stamp duty. That’s a saving of $8,750, which is the maximum stamp duty rebate available to first home buyers in Qld.
  • Savings on stamp duty may still be available if you pay between $500,000 and $550,000 for your first home. As a guide, if your first home is worth $505,000, you pay stamp duty of $1,050, a saving of $7,875. These savings cut out altogether if your first home costs $550,000 or more. On a property valued at $550,000, for example, the stamp duty would work out to be $10,600.
