Sell an appreciated Progress Village property and the IRS takes a cut of every dollar of gain. Donate it instead and that capital gains liability disappears entirely.
A property donation in Progress Village skips the public listing, the open houses, and the price history that a sale leaves on the record.
A Progress Village sale generates a stack of settlement paperwork. A donation produces a single qualified appraisal and a charity acknowledgment letter — the two documents that substantiate the gift at tax time.

Your charity will conduct a preliminary assessment of your property's market value and suitability for donation.
Their experts handle title searches, environmental checks, and prepare all necessary transfer paperwork.
The property is officially transferred to the charity. You receive IRS Form 8283 for tax deduction purposes.
The property is sold and proceeds are distributed to your chosen charity to fund their mission.
Donors who itemize can generally deduct the fair market value of Progress Village 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.
Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
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.
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.
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.
No. Charities that accept real estate routinely take properties that need repairs, including distressed or uninhabitable buildings. Condition is reflected in the appraised value rather than ruling a property out.
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.
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.
