Stamp duty when you buy off the plan in the ACT

In the ACT, from 1 July 2026, owner-occupiers buying an off-the-plan unit-titled townhouse or apartment pay no conveyance duty, with no price threshold, as long as one buyer lives in it for at least a year starting within 12 months of settlement. Companies and trusts can’t claim it. Check the details with the ACT Revenue Office.

Off the plan means you sign before the home is finished. You get a brand-new home and time to organise finance; the trade-offs are construction delays, changes to finishes and a valuation at settlement that may differ from the price you agreed. Our guide to buying a townhouse off the plan walks through deposits, sunset clauses and the questions to ask, and what to ask when buying a new townhouse is the checklist to take to the sales suite.

Every listing shows its stage — off the plan means construction hasn’t started, under construction means it has. For completed homes you can move into now, see all new townhouses in Canberra.
