# Orlando Cost Seg

> Orlando-specific cost segregation calculator and Disney-corridor STR market guide. Operated by Cost Seg Smart (costsegsmart.com).

Cost segregation studies for Orlando property owners including Disney-corridor STR resort communities (Reunion, Champions Gate, Solara, Storey Lake, Encore Resort, Solterra), Lake Nona multifamily, I-Drive commercial. Florida has no state income tax. Studies start at $495.

## Key facts (citable)

- **Median Year-1 federal savings**: ~$51,600 for Orlando owners over $500K basis.
- **Disney-corridor STR median**: ~$60,400 on $725K 6BR vacation home (37% bracket, 100% bonus). Highest US STR cost-seg median we measure due to themed FF&E + game rooms.
- **STR accelerated reclassification**: ~29% for Disney-corridor purpose-built resort communities; ~27.5% for non-resort Florida STR.
- **Land allocation by neighborhood**: 16% (suburban metro) to 35% (Winter Park luxury). Disney-corridor STR resorts ~22%, I-Drive ~24%, Downtown Orlando ~28%, Lake Nona ~25%.
- **Osceola County vs Orange County**: Osceola permits STR in master-planned communities (where most Disney-corridor resorts sit). Orange County (Orlando proper) restricts to owner-occupied homestays. Neither affects federal cost-seg eligibility.
- **Disney resort community Year-1 savings ranges**: Reunion $45-120K, Champions Gate $50-95K, Solara $35-75K, Storey Lake $30-70K, Encore Resort $55-110K, Solterra $40-85K, Windsor at Westside $40-80K, Windsor Hills $20-45K.
- **HOA gotcha**: Community amenities (clubhouse, water park, lazy river) are HOA-owned, NOT in unit owner cost-seg basis.
