Sunrise real estate donation questions, answered
Is a donated deed subject to Sunrise transfer tax?+
Florida charges documentary stamp tax of $0.70 per $100 of consideration. Deeds with no consideration are treated differently, and we confirm the treatment when we prepare yours.
I live outside Florida. Do I have to travel to Sunrise to sign?+
No. We prepare the deed in the form Florida requires for Broward County, you sign before a notary where you live, and we record it with the Broward County recorder.
Does Florida give a state tax deduction for a property donation?+
Florida does not levy a broad personal income tax on wages, so there is generally no state income tax deduction to claim. Your federal charitable deduction follows the usual IRS rules.
Can I donate Sunrise property that is behind on property taxes?+
Reviewed, not refused. What matters is whether the taxes owed are well below what the property can sell for. Delinquent taxes are a lien, so they are handled before or at transfer, and where Florida or Broward County rules require payment first we plan around that with you.
Can an executor donate inherited Sunrise property before probate closes?+
Often, within the authority the will and the Florida probate court give the personal representative. If the property passed outside probate, the heirs on title sign together. Tell us where the estate stands and we will tell you who needs to sign.
We do not provide tax or legal advice. State transfer tax rules change; we confirm current requirements when we prepare each deed. Consult your own advisor.
