Multifamily cost segregation in Texas.

Why multifamily properties reclassify well in Texas

Texas has no state income tax and is the largest U.S. state for new commercial construction. Heavy industrial, multifamily, energy-sector, and hospitality activity make it the largest single state for cost segregation engagements.

Multifamily properties have a particular profile that makes cost segregation especially valuable: garden, mid-rise, and high-rise — landscape, parking, amenities, unit finishes. The shell sits on a 27.5-year recovery period under MACRS — but every multifamily is hundreds of components, many of which qualify for 5-, 7-, or 15-year recovery and accelerated bonus depreciation.

Typical reclassification ratio

For a multifamily in Texas, TDA studies typically reclassify 25–32% of depreciable basis. Combined with 100% OBBBA bonus depreciation on property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, that translates the entire reclassified amount into a year-one deduction.
