First home benefits
If you are buying or building your first home, you may be eligible for benefits under the First Home Owner Grant Scheme and/or the First Home Plus Scheme.
The First Home Owner Grant Scheme is fully funded by the NSW Government and administered by the Office of State Revenue. The Scheme was established to assist eligible first home buyers to purchase their first home by offering a $7000 grant.
The NSW First Home Plus Scheme provides generous exemptions or concessions on transfer duty for eligible first home buyers. This includes vacant land on which you intend to build your first home.
There are no income or assets tests to qualify for the benefits.
First home benefits received from 1 July 2000 to 30 September 2008
