Truck courts, heavy paving, curbs and site drainage
WEST SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY OWNERS
Reviewed August 25, 2026 · Updated for current federal bonus-depreciation guidance
Logistics properties hold more than warehouse shell costs.
Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga sit at the center of a major Inland Empire logistics market, with distribution buildings, flex industrial, self-storage, apartments, medical offices and retail centers. Large sites, tenant buildouts and repeated expansions create distinct cost pools that should be traced to ownership and placed-in-service dates.

WHY IT MATTERS
Move eligible basis into faster recovery periods.
A local industrial study should separate truck courts, secured yards and other land improvements from structural building components. Dock equipment, material-handling assets and power serving particular equipment also require a functional review. General electrical, plumbing and HVAC do not become short-life property merely because the building is used for distribution.
Plain English: you are not creating a new deduction. You are identifying when supported pieces of the property may be depreciated.

Illustrative Ontario logistics example
Illustrative only. This assumes a 37% federal marginal rate where shown and that the owner can currently use the deduction.
- Property value
- $12,000,000
- Estimated depreciable basis
- $10,200,000
- Potential faster basis
- $1,632,000 to $2,448,000
- Potential upfront federal effect
- $604,000 to $906,000
- Study or comparison benchmark
- $15,000 to $30,000+
This is a timing illustration, not guaranteed permanent tax savings. California commonly requires a separate depreciation schedule because it generally does not conform to federal bonus depreciation.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions.
Do warehouse truck courts automatically qualify as 15-year property?+
No. Surface improvements may qualify for shorter recovery when their function and construction support it, but structural elements, land and building-access components require separate analysis.
Can dock equipment and material-handling systems be included?+
Potentially. Ownership, permanence, function and the existing fixed-asset schedule should be reviewed so equipment is classified correctly and never counted twice.
Is a distribution warehouse eligible for qualified production property treatment?+
Storage and distribution alone do not establish eligibility for the separate federal production-property election. A qualifying production activity, eligible use, timing and a supported allocation are required.
Is the free estimate a completed study?+
No. It is an illustrative screen using the facts you provide. No engineering takeoff, professional certification or tax opinion is included. Technical work begins only after a signed and paid engagement.
Does my CPA need to approve the study first?+
No. It is smart to ask whether you can currently use additional depreciation, but the paid study does not require advance CPA approval. Your CPA makes the final filing decision.
Do you guarantee tax savings?+
No. A study accelerates the timing of eligible depreciation. Results depend on basis, property facts, placed-in-service dates, passive-loss rules, tax rates and the owner's filing position.
