Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cost segregation study in Arizona?

A cost segregation study in Arizona is an IRS-approved engineering analysis that reclassifies components of your real property — such as flooring, lighting, landscaping, and specialized equipment — from 27.5- or 39-year depreciation into shorter 5-, 7-, or 15-year schedules. This accelerates your depreciation deductions, reducing your federal tax liability significantly in the early years of ownership. Arizona property owners, particularly in high-growth markets like Phoenix and Scottsdale, commonly use it to boost cash flow and fund new acquisitions faster.
