If you’ve recently constructed, purchased, or renovated real property, you may be sitting on untapped tax savings—ready to be uncovered through a cost segregation study.  

Cost segregation studies are one of the most effective real estate tax planning tools. By reclassifying qualifying assets into shorter-lived asset categories with depreciation periods of five, seven, or 15 years, property owners can accelerate depreciation that would otherwise be spread over 27.5 or 39 years. 

At KatzAbosch, we specialize in delivering IRS-compliant, engineering-based cost segregation studies that help our clients optimize their real estate investments, commercial property depreciation, and maximize after-tax returns.
