No. In fact there may be a tax - the gift tax - that needs to be paid by the one giving it...although if done properly it can normally be easily avoided.
However, in the case of property whose value at the time the gift is given exceeds the donor's basis, a portion of the gift tax paid can be used to increase the basis of the property in the recipient's hands. I won't go into the rules for calculating the how much of the gift tax is added to the basis, it's rather complicated. But increasing the basis does have the effect of decreasing the amount of taxable income the one you give it to will have when they sell the property.
