## State tax context, Arizona
Arizona partially decouples from federal §168(k). AZ historically required specific addbacks for federal bonus depreciation, with the addback amount recovered over the regular MACRS schedule for state purposes. For 2025+ acquisitions under OBBBA's 100% federal bonus, the practical effect is that a portion of the accelerated reclassification dollars hit an AZ-side timing mismatch, at AZ's flat 2.5% rate, the absolute dollar impact is small. Federal §168(k) at 100% is unaffected; only the AZ-side acceleration is partially deferred.

**Decoupling note:** Arizona's bonus depreciation conformity has been modified multiple times. Verify current-year treatment with your CPA. The federal deduction is unaffected; only the AZ Schedule X reconciliation is the variable.

## Methodology
- Base costs: industry-standard 2026 by component category
- Time index: BLS PPI Construction Materials (adjusts industry-standard 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/sedona.json` fixtures via `scripts/run_city_stats.py`

## Regulatory context
City of Sedona maintains an active STR permit regime with annual renewal requirements, density caps in certain residential zones, and compliance triggers (noise complaints, parking violations) that can revoke permits for repeat violations. Yavapai County (Village of Oak Creek) and Coconino County unincorporated areas (Oak Creek Canyon) operate lighter regulatory regimes. STR-intent buyers should verify the property's jurisdiction, Sedona city limits vs Yavapai County vs Coconino County, before underwriting permit availability. Material participation under §469 is achievable for self-managing operators but harder for buyers using full-service property management (Vacasa, Best Western Sedona-affiliated, local operators), document hours contemporaneously. The Arizona Schedule X addback math should be explicit in your CPA workflow given Arizona's partial conformity.
