Donation vs. Sale: The Larimer County Math

A Larimer County sale nets you cash, but only after agent commissions, closing costs, repairs, and capital gains tax are subtracted. What reaches your pocket is a fraction of the headline price.

A donation removes those subtractions. There is no commission and no capital gains event, and the charitable deduction is calculated on the property's full fair market value rather than the reduced net of a sale.

Larimer County Property Donation FAQ

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.

Can I donate more than one Larimer County property? expand_more

Yes. There is no limit on the number of properties you can donate. Each gift is appraised and documented separately, and donors with several holdings sometimes give more than one.

Can I donate a vacation home or second property in Larimer County? expand_more
