What Is Cost Segregation?

A smarter way to depreciate the building you already own

It reclassifies parts of your property — flooring, lighting, cabinetry, parking lots, landscaping — from a 27.5- or 39-year schedule into 5-, 7-, or 15-year categories.

The result: larger deductions sooner, a lower tax bill now, and more cash to reinvest.

$

Lower Your Tax Bill

Studies often reclassify 20–40% of a building's value into faster schedules — bigger deductions in your early years of ownership.

Free Up Cash Flow

Access depreciation sooner and free up working capital for improvements, debt reduction, or your next acquisition.

Pair With Bonus Depreciation

Recent purchases and builds may qualify for 100% bonus depreciation. 

The OBBB has made cost segregation more valuable than ever.

Who It's For

Who is Cost Segregation for?

If you own income-producing property, there's a good chance it's a strong candidate. It tends to benefit four kinds of owners most.

Commercial Owners

Multifamily, office, retail, medical, and other commercial properties.

Rental Owners

Airbnb, vacation, and short- or long-term residential rental properties.

Recent Investors

Anyone who bought, built, or improved since 2018 — bonus depreciation up to 100%.

Portfolio Holders

Owners of multiple properties applying cost seg across the whole portfolio.

Not sure if you qualify? Most commercial or income-producing buildings with a cost basis of roughly $200,000+, placed in service within the last ~15 years, are strong candidates.
