[quote author="Trooper" date=1219134380]So many questions....do you pay property tax on this puppy?
</blockquote>
Even though cemetary plots are deeded property, property tax is not assessed once the plots are sold.

How would capital gains work?
</blockquote>
If the owners are alive, and they realize a gain, the owners will incur capital gain tax liability on the sale of personal property at the taxpayers marginal tax rate.

I mean, if they're dead....do they still qualify for the 500K married exemption?
</blockquote>
If the owners are dead, the estate will not incur tax liability on the sale. The deeded plots will receive a "step up" in basis usually to the sale price. Since no capital gains tax liability is incurred, the estate does not need or qualify for the exemption from capital gains from the sale of a personal residence, even if the taxpayers are "residing" in their plots. Special circumstances may apply if this is a vacation residence which is rented more than 14 days per year.
Now, aren't you sorry you asked?
