You will pay capital gains taxes on your portion of the gain on the sale.

The capital gains tax rate depends on which income tax bracket you are in, but is always lower than the ordinary income tax rate.

Your gain on the sale is the difference between your portion of the sales proceeds and your portion of the basis in the property (the amount paid for the property originally plus any improvements made to the property).
