What you need to know about NSW land tax
- The general and premium thresholds are frozen — the 2024–25 State Budget announced no further indexation of these thresholds for land tax years after 2024.
- Land tax is charged on the combined land value of all your taxable property in NSW, not on each property separately.
- The threshold is not applied per property — it applies once to your total holding.
- Principal place of residence is generally exempt. Investment properties are not.
- There is a separate surcharge land tax for foreign owners, with its own rates; the general and premium thresholds do not apply to it.
- The way a property is owned affects how the threshold applies — for example, property owned with others only gets one threshold for the jointly held land.
Frequently asked questions
What is the land tax threshold in New South Wales?
$1,075,000. Below that total land value you pay no land tax. Above it, tax is charged using the band your value falls into — see the table on this page.
Is land tax charged on each property, or on my total land value?
On your total land value in New South Wales. If you own three investment properties worth $400,000 each, you are assessed on $1,200,000 — not three separate amounts. The threshold applies once to the total, not once per property.
Is my home exempt from land tax in New South Wales?
Generally yes — your principal place of residence is exempt. Investment properties, holiday homes and vacant land are generally not.
Are these the rates for everyone?
These are the general rates. A separate surcharge land tax applies to foreign owners, with its own rates — the general and premium thresholds do not apply to it.
