There is no income tax on inherited property. The estate is subject to estate taxes before the property is passed on to heirs though. This depends on the value of the estate at the time the person died. If there is no estate tax problem, you do not have to pay income tax on the property received. However, if you sell any of the property you may have a tax situation on your gains from the property from the value at the date of death until the time you sell the property. You are allowed a stepped up basis in this situation so that your basis is not what your grandfather paid for the property, but the value on the day he died.
