Your charity will conduct a preliminary assessment of your property's market value and suitability for donation.

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.
Often yes. Liens and unpaid property taxes add steps but do not automatically disqualify a gift. The receiving charity reviews any encumbrances during its assessment and explains how they affect the donation.
Most donations close within a few weeks once title review and the appraisal are complete — considerably faster than a traditional listing in most markets.
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.
State tax treatment of charitable gifts varies — some states offer their own deduction or credit and others do not. Because the rules differ, confirm the Ohio specifics with a local tax advisor.
A partial or fractional interest can sometimes be donated, but the tax rules are stricter than for a whole-property gift. If you are considering a partial donation, discuss it with your tax advisor first.
