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.

Experienced cost segregation consultants ensure that your study is both optimized and defensible. Their collaboration with CPAs and use of IRS-approved methodologies help property owners confidently claim tax benefits without compliance risks.
Whether you own commercial, multifamily, or industrial property, a professional study can generate significant savings—often in the six- to seven-figure range—making it a valuable investment for long-term financial growth.
