Stamp duty in SA
$35,080
4.7% of the price
What this means
Stamp duty works in slices: each rate applies only to the part of the price in its band, so you pay 4.7% overall.
It’s paid at or soon after settlement and usually can’t go on your loan, so save for it on top of your deposit.

SA stamp duty at the general rates: $21,330 plus $5.50 for every $100 over $500,000
South Australia charges stamp duty from 1% up to 5.5%, with no separate rates for owner-occupiers. First home buyers pay no duty on new homes, off-the-plan apartments and vacant land to build on, at any price, but there’s no relief on established homes.
Duty is charged on the price or the market value, whichever is higher, and is usually paid at settlement. Use the calculator above to see the exact amounts for your purchase.
