First home buyers. Where the duty concessions are listed.

Some state offices list duty concessions or grants for first home buyers. The rules differ and change, so this guide points you to each office's own pages instead of repeating figures.

Queensland

From 1 May 2025, a first home buyer buying a brand new home, or vacant land to build one, might be eligible for a full transfer duty concession, which means paying no duty.
