Maximize Your Tax Savings on Baltimore Real Estate

Baltimore Property Tax Savings are possible through a cost segregation study, as this specialized tax planning opportunity can result in substantial tax deductions on commercial property or residential rental property in Baltimore and the surrounding metro region. Cost segregation can help reduce property owners’ tax obligations significantly, often by tens of thousands of dollars, in the first year of ownership. Baltimore

What Is Cost Segregation?

Cost segregation is an IRS-supported strategy that conducts an in-depth analysis of all of the individual components of your Baltimore property to identify any assets that may qualify for accelerated depreciation. This can include personal property and/or land improvements that qualify for much shorter life depreciation schedules of 5, 7, or 15 years instead of the standard life schedule of 27.5 or 39 years.

The process starts with an extensive engineering-based study of your buildings. We review the architectural plans and construction documents and also walk the property so that every building element can be properly categorized for IRS compliance purposes.
