Avoid Capital Gains Tax
Sell an appreciated Four Corners property and the IRS takes a cut of every dollar of gain. Donate it instead and that capital gains liability disappears entirely.

Give Your Most Appreciated Asset
For many owners a long-held Four Corners property has gained far more value than any cash savings — which makes the property itself the most tax-efficient thing to give.

The Tax Picture for a Four Corners Property Gift
Donors who itemize can generally deduct the fair market value of Four Corners real estate held longer than a year, up to 30% of adjusted gross income, with a five-year carryforward for any excess.
A qualified appraisal and IRS Form 8283 substantiate the deduction. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm the specifics with your own advisor.

Donating Real Estate in Four Corners: Common Questions
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Why donate property instead of selling it and donating the cash? expand_more
Selling first triggers capital gains tax and sale costs, shrinking the amount left to give and to deduct. Donating the property directly skips the gain entirely and bases the deduction on full fair market value — usually the more efficient route for appreciated Four Corners real estate.
What types of property qualify for donation? expand_more
Residential homes, vacant land, commercial buildings, and multi-family properties can all qualify. Condition and title issues are addressed during review rather than disqualifying a property upfront.
How do I start donating my Four Corners property? expand_more
Begin with the form on this page: provide a few basic details about the Four Corners 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.
I own a rental in Four Corners 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.
What if I take the standard deduction instead of itemizing? expand_more
A charitable deduction only lowers your taxes if you itemize. If you take the standard deduction, a property gift still avoids capital gains and ends the carrying costs, but the charitable write-off itself would not apply — your tax advisor can weigh this for your situation.
What is the featured charity, and do I have to use it? expand_more
The featured partner is a 501(c)(3) experienced with real estate gifts. You are never required to use it — you can pick any charity you like. But if your main goal is the tax deduction and the convenience, and you would rather not research organizations one by one, asking to route your property to the featured partner is the simplest option.
