## State tax context — Colorado
Colorado conforms to federal §168(k) bonus depreciation. The 100% federal bonus restored under OBBBA in 2025 reduces both your federal AND your Colorado state liability in the same year, with no addback or decoupling math. Combined with Colorado's flat 4.40% rate computed on federal taxable income, a Breckenridge cost-seg study produces the full federal-plus-state acceleration in Year 1. This makes Colorado one of the cleanest mid-tax-rate states for cost segregation, alongside Utah (Park City) and several other federal-conforming states.

## Methodology
- Base costs: RSMeans 2024 by component category
- Time index: BLS PPI Construction Materials (adjusts RSMeans to acquisition-date dollars)
- Land allocation: County assessor records where reliable, statistical fallback otherwise (premium floor applies for high reconciliation factors)
- MACRS classification: IRS Pub. 946 + Rev. Proc. 87-56
- Bonus depreciation: 100% (OBBBA permanently restored, 2025+)
- All numbers reproducible from `cities/breckenridge.json` fixtures via `scripts/run_city_stats.py`

## Regulatory context
Town of Breckenridge operates a Short-Term Rental Licensing program with distinct Type 1 and Type 2 license classifications, annual renewal requirements, neighborhood-level density caps in some zones, and compliance triggers (noise complaints, parking violations) that can revoke licenses. The Town has been one of the more actively-managed ski-resort STR regulators in Colorado. Unincorporated Summit County (Blue River and points south, parts of the Boreas Pass corridor outside town limits) operates a lighter county-level STR registration. STR-intent buyers should verify a property's jurisdiction — Town of Breckenridge vs unincorporated Summit County — before underwriting permit availability and hold-period assumptions. Material participation under §469 favors self-managing operators given the strong full-service property-management ecosystem in the market; document hours contemporaneously and structure operations to clear the >100-hour test if STR-loophole treatment matters to your tax planning.
