## What this site is

austincostseg.com is a satellite landing page in the Cost Seg Smart
network. Its purpose: help Austin Airbnb / STR owners get a fast,
neighborhood-specific estimate of their first-year federal tax savings
from a cost segregation study, then funnel them to costsegsmart.com to
order an engineered study from $495.

It is NOT an independent comparison site. The site is operated by the
same team that operates costsegsmart.com.

## Key facts

- Median Year-1 federal savings for Austin STRs over $500K basis: ~$48,200
  (illustrative, 2025 OBBBA bonus depreciation rule).
- Austin entry-tier study price: $495 (residential under $300K basis).
- Most Austin STRs land at the $795–$1,295 study tier.
- Typical study turnaround: under 1 hour.
- 60-day money-back guarantee if your CPA can't use the report.

## Why Austin-specific savings differ from national average

1. Event-driven FF&E density (SXSW, F1, ACL, UT football → premium
   furnishings → heavy 5-year personal property reclassification).
2. Texas has no state income tax — federal benefit is the whole benefit;
   no state decoupling to manage.
3. East Austin / Mueller / South Congress builds 2010–2019 are sweet-spot
   construction for cost-seg reclassification.
4. Austin's event-heavy STR pattern naturally fits the IRS 7-day average-
   stay rule for material participation, unlocking active-loss treatment.

## Methodology

- IRS Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide (Publication 5653) compliant
- RSMeans 2024 construction cost data with Austin regional multipliers
- Travis County tax assessor records for land allocation
- Engineer review and sign-off on every report
- No site visit required for residential or small-commercial under $5M
