How Cost Segregation Works for Texas Properties
A cost segregation study identifies building components that can be depreciated over 5, 7, or 15 years instead of the standard 27.5 years (residential) or 39 years (commercial). Common reclassifiable components include flooring, cabinetry, electrical wiring, plumbing fixtures, HVAC distribution, parking lots, landscaping, and site improvements.
With 100% bonus depreciation permanently restored by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act for property acquired after January 19, 2025, Texas property owners can deduct the entire reclassified amount in the first year.
$200,000–$400,000

$70,000–$150,000
in estimated income tax savings
Illustrative example: a $1M commercial property at a 37% marginal rate. Your results depend on the property and your tax situation.
Who Prepares Your Texas Study
The IRS standard
The IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide lists “Preparation by an Individual with Expertise and Experience” as the first element of a quality study: knowledge of the construction process, experience in cost estimating and allocation, and command of the tax law that governs property classification.
Every Caliber Cost Segregation Professional is CCSS-certified by the National Board of Cost Segregation Specialist (NBCSS). When you compare providers, look past the lowest quote and the quickest turnaround — ask who prepares the study, what credential they hold, and who signs it.
