Goodwill
Funds job training and employment placement programs through donated goods and community services.
Not every Centerville property is worth the effort of a sale. An aging rental, a vacant lot, or an inherited house can cost more to carry and clean up than it returns at closing. Donating it to a qualified charity ends the expense and creates a charitable deduction in its place.

For many owners a long-held Centerville property has gained far more value than any cash savings — which makes the property itself the most tax-efficient thing to give.
A Centerville sale generates a stack of settlement paperwork. A donation produces a single qualified appraisal and a charity acknowledgment letter — the two documents that substantiate the gift at tax time.
Vacant homes, inherited houses, and tired rentals carry taxes, insurance, and upkeep. Donating a Centerville property ends the carrying costs in one step.

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Yes. Undeveloped land, empty lots, and parcels around Davis County are all eligible. Land is often a strong candidate to donate because it produces no income while still generating a property tax bill.

The deduction applies to the tax year in which the title transfer is completed. Donors aiming to claim it in a particular year often start early enough to leave room for the appraisal and title review before December 31.
Yes, though every owner on the title generally must agree to and sign the transfer. Jointly owned and inherited properties are common donations once the co-owners are aligned.
Absolutely. Second homes and vacation properties are common donations — they often carry significant appreciation and ongoing costs that a gift resolves at once.
