Vacant land transfer duty in SA
At $400,000 general conveyance duty is $16,330. First-home and off-the-plan reliefs, if they apply to your contract, sit outside this model.
From 13 February 2025, prior ownership of an Australian residential property can disqualify first-home relief even if you never lived in that property. That test is not applied here.
Lands Titles ad valorem transfer fees sit on top of duty.
