Gifts of real estate may include developed or undeveloped property. These include physical property such as structures, agriculture products, minerals, and other property rights that can be transferred by deed. Because of the legal costs and possible financial burdens associated with gifts of real estate and depending on the value and desirability of the gift, the following guidelines must be complied with before a gift of real property is considered for acceptance by CCHS.

CCHS will need the donor to provide basic information including:

• Address of the property

• Description of all improvements to the property
• Copy of the deed
• Copy of the current year’s tax bill
• Substantiation of zoning status; if applicable
