Land tax details

Before you start

Use your land value, not the property price

Land tax applies to the unimproved or site value of the land — the figure on your valuation notice — not what the property would sell for. Your home (principal place of residence) is generally exempt, so enter only the combined value of taxable land, such as investment properties.
Tasmania assesses the combined assessed land value of all general land you own at 1 July each year.
