Frequently Asked Questions

What is cost segregation for self-storage?

Cost segregation for self-storage is an engineering-based tax strategy that identifies and reclassifies components of your warehouse — such as paving, fencing, electrical systems, lighting, and drainage — from a 39-year depreciation schedule into shorter 5, 7, or 15-year schedules. This accelerates your depreciation deductions, significantly reducing taxable income and increasing cash flow in the early years of ownership.
