Cost Segregation Studies

Turn your real estate into a tax-saving strategy.

Our cost segregation pros leave no stone unturned when it comes to tax savings – down to the foundation on which you built. If you own commercial or income-producing real estate, a cost segregation study can help you depreciate costs faster, reduce taxes and increase cash.

Cost segregation allows you to accelerate depreciation deductions for your commercial buildings or residential rental properties. By analyzing construction costs, our cost segregation study services identify portions of your real property that can be depreciated over a shorter recovery period – to the tune of five to 15 years, versus the typical 27.5 to 39 years. 

At Doeren Mayhew, our pros bring the perfect trio of the necessary technical expertise, a holistic approach to real estate tax strategy and proper reporting to maximize your property investments, while standing up against IRS scrutiny. 

Our cost segregation process is rooted in a thorough understanding of construction methods, building systems and the complex tax regulations that govern asset classification. By aligning engineering expertise with tax law proficiency, our cost segregation studies deliver substantial value while maintaining unwavering compliance with IRS standards.
