How Queensland stamp duty works

Queensland charges transfer duty (stamp duty) on all residential property purchases using a progressive bracket system — the higher the property price, the higher the effective rate. The calculator above applies the exact 2026 rate schedule from the Queensland Revenue Office.

First home buyers pay $0 duty on properties up to $500,000. A concessional rate applies between $500,001 and $550,000.If you're not a first home buyer, the standard rates apply from dollar one.

Stamp duty is payable at settlement — your conveyancer or solicitor handles the payment to the revenue office. Budget for it alongside your deposit, building inspection, conveyancing fees, and lender's mortgage insurance if your LVR exceeds 80%.
