Calculation breakdown

Worked example
A published transfer registration fee of $175 adds a small but necessary amount to your total settlement costs.
Assumptions
- Registration fees are set individually by each state or territory land titles office and change periodically.
- This is separate from stamp duty, which is a much larger government tax.
How this calculator works
Each state and territory land titles office sets its own fee to register a transfer of land, and these fees change periodically. Enter your state's current published registration fee to include it in your total settlement cost estimate.
Frequently asked questions
Why isn't the fee built in automatically?
Registration fees differ by state and are updated periodically by each land titles office, so this calculator asks for your state's current published fee.
Where do I find my state's fee?
Check your state or territory's land titles office or land registry website for the current transfer registration fee schedule.
Is this fee the same as stamp duty?
No, stamp duty is a separate, usually much larger, government tax on the purchase; the registration fee is a smaller administrative charge.
