It tears up (trust me) and needs to be replaced every now
and then. Add it to your depreciable basis.

I would depreciate the sprinkler system on its own, separate
from the land or the structure.

Default In ground sprinkler - increase basis?

Is the cost of an in-ground sprinkler system added to the
basis of the residence when it is converted to rental use,
or is that considered part of the land (which is not
deprciable)?

Thanks.
