Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get both the stamp duty exemption and FHOG?

Yes, in most states the stamp duty concession and First Home Owner Grant are separate benefits and can be claimed together, as long as you meet the eligibility criteria for each.

What if I buy with someone who already owns property?

In most states, both purchasers must be first home buyers to receive the concession. If one person already owns property, you typically won't qualify for the first home buyer stamp duty exemption.
