This table sets out the general rates of duty that apply when you buy dutiable property. These rates apply to contracts entered into on or after 1 July 2021.

For contracts entered into before 1 July 2021 or for a dutiable transaction or acquisition of an interest in a landholder that was made pursuant to an agreement or arrangement entered into before 1 July 2021, please see our historical rates.

There may be different duty consequences when you buy your first home (principal place of residence).

If you buy a new residential property within the City of Melbourne local government area with a dutiable value up to $1 million, you may be entitled to a land transfer (stamp) duty concession of 50% or exemption. Different contract dates apply to the concession and the exemption.  

There may also be different duty consequences when you buy a subsequent home if its dutiable value is more than $130,000 but not more than $550,000.
