SA stamp duty

Plan my purchaseHow SA stamp duty works
South Australia charges transfer duty on a sliding scale, from 1% on the first $12,000 up to 5.5% on the value above $500,000. The same rates apply to owner-occupiers and investors.
Duty is paid at settlement, usually by your conveyancer, and generally needs to come from your own funds rather than the loan.
First home buyer relief in South Australia
Eligible first home buyers pay no stamp duty on a new home, an off-the-plan home or vacant land to build a home on, with no property value cap for contracts from 6 June 2024. There is no first home buyer relief on established homes in SA, so standard duty applies.
Eligibility depends on you and your spouse or partner, including whether either of you has previously owned residential property in Australia. Check the criteria with RevenueSA before you sign a contract. See our SA first home buyer grants and stamp duty guide.
