Do I owe capital gains tax on an inherited home in Canton?

A Canton heir's tax bill on an inherited home is driven by the stepped-up basis rule, not the home's original purchase price, since the basis resets to what the property was worth when the owner died. Gains tax applies only to value gained after that point, so a quick sale after inheriting often produces little or no taxable gain, while a longer hold changes that math.
