California Central Valley Capital Gains Reality
Selling appreciated almond, pistachio, dairy, and row crop land in California Central Valley? Here's the tax math.
Combined federal capital gains, depreciation recapture, and California Central Valley's state capital gains rate of Up to 13.3% (state income tax — capital gains taxed as ordinary income) can hand 30 to 40% of your sale proceeds to taxes.
California taxes capital gains as ordinary income at up to 13.3% — the highest state rate in the country. Combined federal, NIIT, state, and recapture often exceeds 40% of the gain. A 1031 DST defers all of it.
A 1031 exchange into a Delaware Statutory Trust defers all of that. Your proceeds roll into a fractional ownership share of professionally managed institutional real estate. The IRS waits. You collect the structured benefits of passive ownership without the tenants, fences, or fuel bills.
