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.
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.
Yes. Farmland, ranch land, and other agricultural property can be donated like any other real estate. Acreage with crops, leases, or water rights is reviewed by the receiving charity during assessment.
For property held more than a year and given to a public charity, the deduction is generally the fair market value set by a qualified appraisal. The actual tax savings depend on your appraised value, income, and filing situation, so confirm the figure with your tax advisor.
