A cost type is a category of costs incurred by an organization. Examples includes operating costs and maintenance costs.

In VertiGIS FM, a cost type enables the accounts assigned to it to be selected in line items for rent, service charges, and other rental costs, depending on the cost type's properties. Refer to Manage Rental Costs for more information.
