You can apply for an exemption on the land (or part of the land) that you use as your home (i.e. your principal place of residence), so that you won’t have to pay land tax on it. This home exemption applies automatically once approved, so the property won’t be included in your taxable land unless your circumstances change.

Land tax applies to vacant land and land that is built on (houses, apartments, commercial premises, investment properties), whether or not it is occupied. You may be liable if the total taxable value of your landholdings exceeds the threshold.
