Can I get the grant to build a granny flat on a relative’s land?
You may be eligible for the first home owner grant if you build a detached dwelling (e.g. granny flat, tiny home) on a relative’s land.
The total value of the transaction must be less than $750,000.
You’ll need to provide certain documents with your application, including a statement from the relative and evidence of the value of the part of the land on which you have the right to build your detached dwelling.
Is my home exempt from land tax?
If your land (or part of it) is your primary place of residence, then a land tax exemption may apply.
From 1 July 2023, you may receive this exemption for the 2023–24 year without having to apply. If we have sufficient information that land you own is being used as your home, we’ll send you a notice about the exemption that has been applied and the date of effect.
Otherwise, land tax exemptions are not automatic—you must apply for them. For land with joint owners, each owner wanting to claim an exemption must apply separately.
