Cost Segregation Services
Cost Segregation Services in Florida
Accelerate Depreciation. Reduce Taxes. Increase Cash Flow.
Owning property in Florida comes with unique opportunities—and cost segregation is one of the most powerful tax-saving tools available to real estate investors, developers, and business owners in the state. By breaking down your property into its individual components, we help you unlock shorter depreciation schedules and maximize your tax deductions.
What Is Cost Segregation?
The IRS requires that each asset within a property be depreciated over its correct recovery period. While buildings are typically depreciated over 27.5 or 39 years, many components—such as flooring, HVAC systems, outdoor improvements, and interior finishes—may qualify for 5-, 7-, or 15-year schedules.
A cost segregation study identifies these components so you can accelerate depreciation, reduce taxable income, and keep more of your cash working for you.
Why It’s Important in Florida
Whether you're managing a multifamily property in Orlando, operating a retail space in Miami, or investing in vacation rentals along the Gulf Coast, Florida's booming real estate market makes cost segregation especially valuable. With property values rising and state income tax laws that already favor business, accelerated depreciation adds another layer of tax efficiency and financial return.
What the IRS Expects
The IRS outlines three key expectations for a valid cost segregation study:
Credible Methodology: Using engineering- or appraisal-based approaches—not just statistical models—to analyze your property.
Credible Results: Backed by site visits, public records, aerial imagery, and documentation tailored specifically to your property.
Complete Documentation: From blueprints and site plans to photos and measurable data, your report must be detailed and defensible.
