Owning income-producing property involves more than managing tenants, maintenance, and operating expenses. Depreciation is another area that can affect how an investment is viewed from a tax planning perspective. For commercial property owners, understanding how the different components of a building are classified can provide useful information when evaluating depreciation opportunities. This is where a cost segregation analysis can become part of the planning process.
A commercial building is made up of numerous assets. The primary structure may include walls, floors, roofing, and other structural elements, while the property can also contain lighting, electrical systems, flooring, plumbing, equipment, landscaping, and specialized improvements. These components may not all receive the same depreciation treatment. A cost segregation analysis examines the property in greater detail to identify and classify qualifying components.
