Sell an appreciated Ormond-by-the-Sea property and the IRS takes a cut of every dollar of gain. Donate it instead and that capital gains liability disappears entirely.
For many owners a long-held Ormond-by-the-Sea property has gained far more value than any cash savings — which makes the property itself the most tax-efficient thing to give.
Vacant homes, inherited houses, and tired rentals carry taxes, insurance, and upkeep. Donating a Ormond-by-the-Sea property ends the carrying costs in one step.
Turn your property into a second chance at life.

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
The deduction for real estate is generally capped at 30% of adjusted gross income in the year of the gift, but any excess carries forward for up to five additional years.
The receiving charity manages title searches, the deed transfer, and required filings. You provide property details and sign the transfer documents.
Yes, though every owner on the title generally must agree to and sign the transfer. Jointly owned and inherited properties are common donations once the co-owners are aligned.
No. Donating the property directly to a charity means you never realize the gain, so the capital gains tax that a sale would trigger does not apply.
Yes. Waterfront and lakefront parcels are accepted; the charity simply allows additional time for environmental and insurance due diligence where it applies.
It depends on the organization. Some charities sell donated real estate and direct the proceeds to their programs; others may put a property to use directly. The receiving charity can explain its intended use before you complete the gift.
