What taxes apply when selling an inherited home in Roswell?

Selling an inherited home in Roswell can trigger federal capital gains tax, though heirs generally owe it only on appreciation after the date of death rather than on the home's full value. Georgia also applies its standard transfer tax at closing, calculated from the sale price and filed on form PT-61. The exact gain depends on the property's stepped-up basis, so heirs should confirm the figures with a CPA before listing.
