Choose the ownership type and whether the owner is foreign or absentee.

What land tax costs in South Australia
An individual holding taxable land in SA, at three land values, under the rates above.
| Land value | Land tax a year | Share of land value |
|---|---|---|
| $1,200,000 | $1,320 | 0.11% |
| $1,600,000 | $3,800 | 0.24% |
| $2,000,000 | $7,800 | 0.39% |
Land value means the unimproved site value of all your taxable land added together, which is well below what the properties would sell for. These figures assume the land is not your home, since your principal place of residence is exempt, and that you are not a foreign owner. Companies and trusts are assessed differently in some states. Estimates only, not an assessment.
