The Process

A no-cost feasibility analysis will let you know if your property is a good candidate and then provide you with a fully turnkey lump sum quote to perform the study.

Option to do virtual/remote property inspections or in person. If a deep dive inspection is requested or of great value, our team can provide an onsite, in-person cost inspection.

A detailed report will be given to you showing the engineer's asset classification.

Finally, the report will be given to you and your accountant for a lower tax bill when filed; we will work with your accountant to save you all the money possible.

What is Cost Segregation?

Cost Segregation is an application by which commercial property owners can accelerate depreciation and reduce the amount of taxes owed. These savings generate substantial cash flow that owners often use to reinvest in the business, purchase more property, apply to their principal payment, or spend on themselves.

How Does Cost Segregation Work?

Cost Segregation study accelerates the depreciation of your building/renovation components into shorter depreciation categories such as 5-, 7-, and 15-year rather than conventional 27.5- and 39.5-year schedules. This engineering-based cost segregation study results in a much higher depreciation expense and significantly reduced taxable income for the property owner. Best of all, the US tax code states cost segregation can be applied to categories of buildings purchased or built since 1986, including renovations.

When to do a Segregation Study? If you have purchased, constructed, or remodeled a building in the last 15 years and spent more than $750,000, a Cost Segregation Study may benefit you, especially if you have not captured any depreciation expense from the property in the past years.
