Builds affordable homes alongside families in need across all 50 states and 70+ countries.
An empty house in Perry County is rarely a free asset — property taxes, insurance, and upkeep continue whether anyone lives there or not. A charitable donation ends those costs and replaces them with a fair-market-value deduction.

Donors who itemize can deduct the full appraised value of Perry County real estate, often the single largest charitable write-off available in a given year.
A property donation in Perry County skips the public listing, the open houses, and the price history that a sale leaves on the record.
For many owners a long-held Perry County property has gained far more value than any cash savings — which makes the property itself the most tax-efficient thing to give.

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Yes. You do not need to live in Perry County — or in Indiana — to donate property there. The receiving charity handles the transfer, and documents can typically be signed remotely.
Selling a depreciated rental can trigger depreciation recapture taxed at a higher rate. Donating the property instead generally avoids that recapture, though the deduction may be adjusted for it — a point worth confirming with your tax advisor.
When the mortgage exceeds the property's value, a donation gets complicated and the usual deduction may not apply. The receiving charity reviews the loan balance early on so you know where you stand before committing.
The organizations shown for Perry County are recognized public charities that hold IRS 501(c)(3) status and accept real estate gifts. Easy Real Estate Donation is an independent resource and is not affiliated with the charities listed; the list is provided so you can compare options.
Begin with the form on this page: provide a few basic details about the Perry County 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.
