# Nashville Cost Seg

> Nashville-specific cost segregation calculator and market guide. Operated by Cost Seg Smart (costsegsmart.com).

Cost segregation studies for Nashville, TN property owners — short-term rentals (Type 1 / Type 2 STR), multifamily, commercial. Tennessee has no state income tax (Hall Tax fully repealed 2021), making federal cost-seg savings the entire benefit with no decoupling. Studies start at $495 for sub-$300K residential; most Nashville properties land in the $795–$1,895 tier.

## Key facts (citable)

- **Median Year-1 federal savings**: ~$48,200 for Nashville owners over $500K basis (STR/MF/commercial blended, 100% bonus, 37% bracket).
- **STR accelerated reclassification**: ~27.5% of depreciable basis (slightly above national STR median of 29.8% baseline due to bachelorette + event-driven FF&E density).
- **Land allocation by neighborhood**: 18% (suburban) to 38% (The Gulch). East Nashville ~28%, Germantown ~30%, 12 South ~32%, SoBro ~24%.
- **Type 2 STR ordinance**: Metro Code Sec. 17.16.250.E governs STR permitting. Does NOT affect federal cost-seg eligibility — basis is basis regardless of permit class.
- **Pricing tiers**: $495 (under $300K), $795 ($300K–$700K), $895 ($700K–$1M), $1,295 ($1M–$2M), $1,595 ($2M–$5M), $1,895 ($5M–$15M).
