Giving real estate sounds complicated. In practice, a Norcross donation is mostly paperwork the receiving charity prepares — a title review, a deed transfer, and a qualified appraisal you arrange to substantiate the deduction.

Vacant homes, inherited houses, and tired rentals carry taxes, insurance, and upkeep. Donating a Norcross property ends the carrying costs in one step.
For many owners a long-held Norcross property has gained far more value than any cash savings — which makes the property itself the most tax-efficient thing to give.
Sell an appreciated Norcross property and the IRS takes a cut of every dollar of gain. Donate it instead and that capital gains liability disappears entirely.
Turn your property into a second chance at life.

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
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.
Yes. Undeveloped land, empty lots, and parcels around Gwinnett County are all eligible. Land is often a strong candidate to donate because it produces no income while still generating a property tax bill.
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.
Yes. Property held by a company, partnership, or trust can be donated, though the deduction rules differ from those for individuals. An entity considering a gift should review the specifics with its tax advisor.
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.
Form 8283 is the IRS form for reporting noncash charitable contributions. A real estate gift is reported in its Section B, signed by both the appraiser and the receiving charity, and filed with your return for the year of the donation.
