Frequently asked questions

You may be eligible for the first home owner grant if you build a detached dwelling (e.g. granny flat, tiny home) on a relative’s land.

The total value of the transaction must be less than $750,000.

You’ll need to provide certain documents with your application, including a statement from the relative and evidence of the value of the part of the land on which you have the right to build your detached dwelling.

Read more about building on a relative’s land.

If your land (or part of it) is your primary place of residence, then a land tax exemption may apply.

You may receive this exemption without having to apply for it. If we have sufficient information that land you own is being used as your home, we’ll send you a notice about the exemption that has been applied and the date of effect.

Otherwise, land tax exemptions are not automatic—you must apply for them. For land with joint owners, each owner wanting to claim an exemption must apply separately.

Read more about land tax exemptions.

Annual land tax assessment notices—for land owned on 30 June—are usually issued from August onwards.

You can see your assessment notices in QRO Online. If you’ve ticked the box to receive online notices, you won’t receive your notice by post. We’ll send you an email when your notice is ready to download.

If someone else was driving your car or you were driving a vehicle registered to someone else when an offence was committed, you can request to transfer the fine to the responsible person (i.e. nominate another driver).

You have 28 days from the fine issue date to do this and you should act quickly.

There are 2 ways to transfer a fine:

  • online (camera-detected fines only)
  • by statutory declaration.

Not all fines can be transferred (e.g. handwritten fines and SPER enforcement orders).
