What Union County Homeowners Ask Us

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.

Can I deduct the full value of an expensive Union County property in one year? expand_more

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.

What types of property qualify for donation? expand_more

Residential homes, vacant land, commercial buildings, and multi-family properties can all qualify. Condition and title issues are addressed during review rather than disqualifying a property upfront.

Can I donate my Union County property privately? expand_more

Largely, yes. A donation avoids the public listing and price history a sale creates. The deed transfer itself becomes a public record, as all property transfers do, but the gift draws far less attention than an open-market sale.

How long does a Union County real estate donation take? expand_more

Most donations close within a few weeks once title review and the appraisal are complete — considerably faster than a traditional listing in most markets.

I have claimed depreciation on a Union County rental — how does that affect a donation? expand_more

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.
