Worth knowing: The amount depends on when the contract was signed, not when you settle — so the date that matters is the one on the contract.
The detail that decides it
- $30,000 for contracts signed on or after 20 November 2023.
- $15,000 for contracts signed before 20 November 2023.
- If you are building, the test is when the foundations are laid: on or after 20 November 2023 for the higher amount.
- The value of the new home must be less than $750,000, including land and any contract variations. At exactly $750,000 you are not eligible.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the first home owner grant in Queensland?
$30,000 for contracts signed on or after 20 November 2023, or $15,000 for contracts signed before that date.
What if I am building?
Then the timing test is when the foundations are laid — on or after 20 November 2023 for the higher amount.
Is there a value cap?
Yes. The new home must be valued at less than $750,000, including the land and any contract variations. At $750,000 exactly, you are not eligible — it is a strict threshold, not a soft one.
Does the land count towards the cap?
Yes, the value includes land. That catches people buying a house-and-land package near the limit: variations added later can push the total over.
Compare the other states
The grant is a state payment, so the same house can attract a very different amount depending on the border you are on.
