Frequently Asked Questions for Umatilla County Donors

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.

Can I donate a vacation home or second property in Umatilla County? expand_more

Absolutely. Second homes and vacation properties are common donations — they often carry significant appreciation and ongoing costs that a gift resolves at once.

How is the fair market value of my Umatilla County property determined? expand_more

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.

Do I need an appraisal to donate real estate in Umatilla County? expand_more

Yes. The IRS requires a qualified appraisal to substantiate a real estate deduction over $5,000, and the appraisal must be completed close to the donation date. The receiving charity can point you toward qualified appraisers.

If I request a valuation for my Umatilla County property, am I committing to donate? expand_more

No. A valuation request is informational and carries no cost or obligation. You can review the estimate and decide whether a donation makes sense for you.
