Some exemptions have an expiration period that calculates the expiration date for you. If the exemption does not calculate an expiration date, you can manually enter one when you add an exemption to a real property. 

Enter a land or building record exemption with an expiration date to ensure the exemption is applied only for the period during which it is valid. An expiration date allows the system to automatically identify when an exemption should end, helping maintain accurate property values, taxable values, and tax calculations. This is especially useful for temporary exemptions that require periodic review or renewal.

Examples:

• Apply a temporary exemption granted for a specific number of years.
• Record an exemption that expires when a property owner no longer meets eligibility requirements.
• Set an expiration date for a construction-related exemption that ends when the project is completed.
• Track exemptions associated with economic development or incentive programs that have a defined end date.
• Ensure expired exemptions are no longer included in future assessments and tax calculations.

By using expiration dates, you can manage temporary exemptions more effectively, maintain accurate assessment records, and ensure properties are taxed appropriately when an exemption period ends.
