Donation vs. Sale: The Garrison Math
A Garrison 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.
How a Garrison Donation Works
A transparent, four-step process ensures a smooth transition from property to philanthropy. (The exact process may differ between organizations, these are the general phases)
1
Property Valuation
Your charity will conduct a preliminary assessment of your property's market value and suitability for donation.
2
Legal & Title Review
Their experts handle title searches, environmental checks, and prepare all necessary transfer paperwork.
3
Deed Transfer
The property is officially transferred to the charity. You receive IRS Form 8283 for tax deduction purposes.
4
Fund Distribution
The property is sold and proceeds are distributed to your chosen charity to fund their mission.

Frequently Asked Questions for Garrison Donors
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Can I donate a Garrison property that I own with other people? expand_more
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.
Do I have to pay capital gains tax if I donate my Garrison property? expand_more
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.
How are the charities listed for Garrison chosen? expand_more
The organizations shown for Garrison are recognized public charities that hold IRS 501(c)(3) status and accept real estate gifts. Easy Real Estate Donation is an independent resource and is not affiliated with the charities listed; the list is provided so you can compare options.
I have claimed depreciation on a Garrison rental — how does that affect a donation? expand_more
Selling a depreciated rental can trigger depreciation recapture taxed at a higher rate. Donating the property instead generally avoids that recapture, though the deduction may be adjusted for it — a point worth confirming with your tax advisor.
I own a rental in Garrison I am tired of managing — can I donate it? expand_more
Yes. Tired rentals are frequently donated. A gift ends the management burden and property tax exposure while converting the asset into a deduction; existing tenancies are reviewed during assessment.
Can I deduct the full value of an expensive Garrison property in one year? expand_more
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.
