Did anyone of you have to pay Land Tax? My settlement agent said I've to pay Land Tax of about $780. I'm a first home owner and most likely I'll occupy the premise before June 2015. Hence, I thought I don't have to pay any land tax. Now they're charging that hefty amount!!!
I'm planning to contact Office of State Revenue, would appreciate if you share your experience prior to that.
On a good note, my construction is going to start soon, slab footings to be put down tomorrow.
Take care...
From memory you pay it now, but then claim it back when the house is finished.. If you have a broker they should be able to give you an answer.
