What Are Cost Segregation
Services?
Cost Segregation Services are a
powerful tax strategy designed to help property owners accelerate depreciation
and reduce taxable income. A cost segregation study identifies and reclassifies
building components—such as fixtures, electrical systems, and specialized
equipment—into shorter depreciation categories (5, 7, or 15 years), instead of
the standard 27.5 or 39 years. This allows property owners to unlock immediate
tax savings and improve cash flow.
How a Cost Segregation Study
Works
A professional cost segregation study
involves engineering analysis, tax expertise, and detailed asset
classification. At O’Connor, the process begins with a preliminary review to
estimate potential savings, followed by a comprehensive evaluation of the
property.
Key steps include:
- Initial
assessment and savings estimate
- Engineering-based
property analysis
- Identification
of short-life depreciable assets
- Delivery
of an IRS-compliant report
- Coordination
with CPAs for tax filing
This structured approach ensures accuracy, compliance, and
maximum financial benefit.

Cost Segregation DIY vs.
Professional
When considering cost segregation DIY vs.
professional, it’s important to understand the trade-offs. DIY
approaches may reduce upfront costs but often lack the detailed engineering
analysis required for IRS compliance.
Professional cost segregation consultants provide:
- Accurate
asset classification
- Comprehensive,
audit-ready reports
- Higher
depreciation capture (avoiding missed assets)
- Expert
guidance aligned with tax regulations
In contrast, DIY methods may miss up to 5–10% of eligible
depreciation due to limited expertise, potentially reducing overall tax
savings.
