For income tax purposes, property owners and real estate investors generally depreciate the commercial property over 39 years.
But a residence, office building, warehouse, or any other real property is never just the structure alone. It also includes several other elements, such as plumbing fixtures, carpeting, sidewalks, fencing, and many more.
If you were to purchase these assets by themselves, you could depreciate them over five, seven, or 15 years. But they are usually purchased as part of a building acquisition or development and written off over the same useful life as the rest of the building: 27.5 or 39 years.
A cost segregation study is a process that looks at each element of a property, splits them into different categories, and allows you to benefit from an accelerated depreciation timeline for some of those building components.
