Builds affordable homes alongside families in need across all 50 states and 70+ countries.
Not every Paulding County property is worth the effort of a sale. An aging rental, a vacant lot, or an inherited house can cost more to carry and clean up than it returns at closing. Donating it to a qualified charity ends the expense and creates a charitable deduction in its place.

Your charity will conduct a preliminary assessment of your property's market value and suitability for donation.
Their experts handle title searches, environmental checks, and prepare all necessary transfer paperwork.
The property is officially transferred to the charity. You receive IRS Form 8283 for tax deduction purposes.
The property is sold and proceeds are distributed to your chosen charity to fund their mission.
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
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.
For high-value Paulding County properties the case is often stronger: the larger the unrealized gain, the more capital gains tax a donation avoids, and the larger the fair-market-value deduction.
Yes, it is a good idea. The information here is general, and a tax professional can confirm how a property gift affects your specific deduction, income, and filing situation. The receiving charity handles the transaction, but the tax planning is yours.
When the mortgage exceeds the property's value, a donation gets complicated and the usual deduction may not apply. The receiving charity reviews the loan balance early on so you know where you stand before committing.
Form 8283 is the IRS form for reporting noncash charitable contributions. A real estate gift is reported in its Section B, signed by both the appraiser and the receiving charity, and filed with your return for the year of the donation.
