Cost segregation in Washington state is an IRS-approved tax strategy where a licensed engineering team analyzes your investment property and reclassifies building components such as flooring, lighting, landscaping, and specialty systems from 27.5 or 39 year depreciation schedules into shorter 5-, 7-, or 15-year schedules. This accelerates your depreciation deductions, generating significant front-loaded tax savings. Given Washington's high property values, particularly in the Seattle metro area, the savings potential is often substantial.
