Stamp duty in Tasmania — called duty on conveyances — uses a progressive bracket system. Tasmanian property prices are generally lower than mainland capitals, making duty bills smaller in absolute terms. On a $600,000 property, a buyer pays approximately $22,498. Note: the 50% first home buyer concession that previously applied to established properties expired on 30 June 2026. First home buyers purchasing from 1 July 2026 pay full duty.

Government registration fees

In addition to duty, Tasmania buyers pay registration fees to Land Tasmania to record the transfer. Two fees apply: a title transfer registration fee and a mortgage registration fee. GetReal's calculator includes both.

For a $750,000 purchase in Tasmania: approximately $240 in registration fees, on top of duty. This brings the total government upfront cost to around $29,175 for a standard buyer at that price.
