Donate a Home in San Juan County Without the Hassle of a Sale

Property donation is one of the most tax-efficient gifts available to San Juan County owners, yet it remains one of the least used. A direct transfer to a 501(c)(3) avoids the capital gains tax a sale would trigger and produces a deduction tied to the property's full appraised value.
