Our team of experts conducts comprehensive cost segregation studies tailored to your specific property type, industry, and long-term financial goals.
What Is Cost Segregation?
Cost segregation is a proven tax strategy that allows property owners to reclassify certain components of commercial or rental properties from standard depreciation schedules of 27.5 or 39 years to shorter recovery periods such as 5, 7, or 15 years. This acceleration of depreciation can significantly reduce federal income taxes, allowing you to increase cash flow and reinvest in your business.
Property types that can benefit from cost segregation include:
- Commercial Real Estate
- Rental Properties
- Medical & Dental Offices
- Retail & Industrial Spaces
- Hotels & Hospitality Properties
Key Benefits of Cost Segregation
Cost segregation services provide several financial and operational advantages, especially when managed by experienced professionals. These include:
Accelerated Depreciation

Bonus Depreciation

What to Expect from an HRSS Cost Segregation Study
Our process is comprehensive, accurate, and designed to ensure full compliance with IRS standards. Here’s what you can expect:
- Property Review: We evaluate building plans, blueprints, and cost documentation.

Why Timing Matters
Cost segregation is most impactful when performed in the year the property is purchased, built, or renovated. However, even if you’ve owned your property for several years, you may still be eligible for a “look-back” study that allows you to capture unclaimed depreciation from prior years and apply it to your current tax return.
The sooner you start, the greater the impact. HRSS helps ensure your property investments are working as hard as you are.
