Life cycle studies can be an effective tool to reduce property tax expenses. These analyses provide an estimate of the period of time over which an asset may reasonably be expected to perform the function for which it was intended. Useful life studies examine the remaining physical life of the asset, while economic life cycle studies look at the remaining value of the asset. When paired together, useful and economic life cycle studies can serve as the basis to depreciate assets more quickly.
