Stamp duty concessions & exemptions in Queensland

What you might not have to pay.

• Concessions & exemptions summary: QLD first home buyers of a new home or vacant land pay $0 duty with no value cap (contracts from 1 May 2025); first home buyers of an established home get a full exemption to $700,000 tapering to $800,000; any owner-occupier (even a previous owner) gets the home concession; and a temporary off-the-plan duty concession (strata apartments/townhouses, all buyers) runs for contracts before 21 October 2026. There is no pensioner/seniors duty concession.
• First home concession (established / any home): applies to homes valued under $800,000; saves up to $24,525, and homes valued $700,000 or under pay no duty. For contracts on or after 9 June 2024. For first home buyers who move in within 1 year and have never held a home interest.
• First home (new home) concession: a full concession reducing duty to nil, with no value cap, for first home buyers of a new or substantially renovated home. Applies to contracts dated 1 May 2025 or later; you must move in within 1 year of settlement.
• First home vacant land concession: a full concession (no duty payable) on residential vacant land with no value cap, for first home buyers who build their first home and move in within 2 years. Applies to contracts dated 1 May 2025 or later. Vacant land bought by anyone else, or by a first home buyer who doesn't meet these conditions, is charged transfer duty at the standard transfer (conveyance) rates on the land value — so the duty difference between qualifying and non-qualifying vacant land can be the full duty bill.
• Home concession (principal place of residence, even if you've owned before): a concessional rate of $1 per $100 on the first $350,000 of value, with normal rates above that; saves up to $7,175. You must move in within 1 year and live there as your main home.
• Off-the-plan duty concession (temporary): for eligible off-the-plan apartments, units and townhouses in a strata subdivision, the construction work done after the contract date is excluded from the dutiable value, so duty is charged on roughly the land-plus-work-completed value rather than the full price. Open to all buyers (owner-occupiers and investors), with no price cap, for contracts signed before 21 October 2026. Confirm current eligibility and the cut-off date with the Queensland Revenue Office at launch.
• QLD has no pensioner or seniors transfer duty concession.

Verified against the Queensland revenue office as of June 2026. Concessions and thresholds change — and some are time-limited — so we confirm what applies to your purchase before you sign. First home owner cash grants are covered separately.
