What Is the First Home Owner Grant?

The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) is a one-time payment available to first-time property buyers who meet specific conditions set by the Queensland Government. The goal is to support new buyers by making it easier to purchase or build a home, especially in regional and urban growth areas.

Key Eligibility Criteria

• You must be buying or building a brand-new home
• The value of the property must not exceed $750,000
• You must occupy the property as your principal residence within 12 months
• You and your partner must not have previously owned a residential property in Australia

Grants are not available for established homes unless they have undergone substantial renovations and meet specific criteria.
