Cost Segregation Studies

A cost segregation study reclassifies components of your property — electrical systems, HVAC, plumbing, site improvements, specialty buildouts — from 39-year real property into shorter-lived categories. With 100% bonus depreciation now permanent under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, assets in the 5-, 7-, and 15-year categories can be fully deducted in year one.

Cost Segregation Services

Who It's For

Cost segregation studies are most valuable for property owners who:

  • Recently purchased or built a commercial property valued at $500K or more
  • Completed a significant renovation or tenant improvement
  • Own rental real estate and want to accelerate depreciation deductions
  • Are preparing for a 1031 exchange and want to maximize basis allocation
  • Have owned a property for years without a study (look-back available via Form 3115)

Why a Licensed Appraiser

Only a licensed appraiser can sign a cost segregation report and professionally defend the component allocations under IRS examination. Engineering firms and software platforms cannot provide that certification. Every National Cost Segregation LLC study is:

  • Performed with a live, on-site physical inspection
  • Signed and certified by a licensed appraiser
  • Documented to withstand IRS audit scrutiny
  • USPAP-compliant and methodology-transparent

Flat Fee — No Surprises

$2,100. Flat. No upsells, no percentage-of-savings pricing, no mandatory sales call. You either have a property that benefits from a study or you don't — and we'll tell you straight which one it is before you commit to anything.

Study Types

We handle all standard cost segregation assignment types:

  • New Acquisition Studies — performed at or shortly after closing
  • Look-Back Studies — catch-up deductions for properties owned for years without a study (Form 3115)
  • Renovation & Improvement Studies — isolate short-life components in capital improvement projects
  • Construction Studies — ground-up construction basis allocation
