Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
It depends on the organization. Some charities sell donated real estate and direct the proceeds to their programs; others may put a property to use directly. The receiving charity can explain its intended use before you complete the gift.
Yes. Waterfront and lakefront parcels are accepted; the charity simply allows additional time for environmental and insurance due diligence where it applies.
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.
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.
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.
