Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
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.
Most donations close within a few weeks once title review and the appraisal are complete — considerably faster than a traditional listing in most markets.
For property held more than a year and given to a public charity, the deduction is generally the fair market value set by a qualified appraisal. The actual tax savings depend on your appraised value, income, and filing situation, so confirm the figure with your tax advisor.
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.
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.
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.
