Donating Real Estate in Summit County: Common Questions

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

Can I donate more than one Summit 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.

How do I start donating my Summit County property? expand_more

Begin with the form on this page: provide a few basic details about the Summit County property and request a free valuation. From there you are connected with a qualified 501(c)(3) that handles the appraisal, title transfer, and closing directly with you.

How is the fair market value of my Summit County property determined? expand_more

Fair market value for a real estate deduction is established by a qualified appraisal, not by an online estimate or the tax-assessed value. The IRS requires that appraisal for property gifts above $5,000.

Can I donate a Summit County property that still has a mortgage? expand_more

Often yes, though a mortgage adds complexity and can affect the deduction. The charity will review the outstanding loan balance during the assessment stage.
