Home Buyer Concession Scheme (HBCS). From 1 July 2026 the HBCS income test and the property value limit were both removed: eligible buyers pay no conveyance duty at any price. Eligibility: every buyer is an individual 18 or over, no buyer (or their partner) has owned property in the last 5 years, and you live in the home for at least a year. A first home buyer meets the prior-property rule by definition. See the ACT first home buyer page →
