Electronic conveyancing

​​​​​​​UPDATE 12 May 2025​

Additional electronic conveyancing functions are now live in Tasmanian Revenue Online (TRO). 

For the time being the following land transfers can only be completed using the existing paper process:

  • Transfers involving trusts (either transferor or transferee) 
    ​

Electronic conveyancing for Tasmania

  • Electronic conveyancing is NOT mandatory.
  • In day-to-day practice electronic conveyancing is simply another option for parties when transferring land in Tasmania.
  • It is available only to TRO Agents who register with Property Exchange Australia (PEXA). PEXA is the approved Electronic Lodgement Network Operator for Tasmania and elsewhere in Australia.

In brief, electronic conveyancing is an alternative option for:

  • creating and executing land transfers;
  • paying duty;
  • completing financial settlements; and
  • lodging land transfers with the Land Titles Office.


Both the transferor and transferee representatives must be PEXA subscribers to use electronic conveyancing.

  • Each representative completes their part in PEXA.
  • The information exports from PEXA to TRO.
  • The transferee's rep. completes necessary steps in TRO.
  • A duty estimate is generated.
  • If needed, submit the transaction to the State Revenue Office (SRO) with all evidence at least 15 business days before settlement.
  • The transferee's rep. initiates a duty verification in PEXA.
  • The duty estimate is included in the financial settlement.
  • At settlement, the duty is paid to the SRO and a verification number is assigned.
  • The transfer is lodged electronically with the Land Titles Office.
  • Once received by the Recorder of Titles, the duty verification number is considered an endorsement.​​
