What you need to know about SA land tax
- The 2026–27 general threshold is $936,000, up from $833,000 in 2025–26.
- Land held on trust uses a completely different scale with a threshold of only $25,000 — a much lower starting point.
- Thresholds are adjusted each year based on changes in property site values. If average site values fall, the thresholds stay the same rather than going down.
- Land tax is assessed on the total taxable site value of all land held under one ownership — so several properties each below the threshold can still attract tax once added together.
- The rates are progressive: each tier applies a set base amount plus a charge on the value above that tier’s starting point.
- Your principal place of residence is generally exempt; investment and vacant land are not.
Frequently asked questions
What is the land tax threshold in South Australia?
$936,000. 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 South Australia. 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 South Australia?
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.
