1it is not 25$/year, 25$ is registration fee, not subscription. – Jemshit Apr 10 '15 at 06:07

Unlike Windows and iOS where developer is been charged every year(100$), android developer has to pay one time fee that is 25$ and then no further charge or fee.
But yes account termination due to various content policies, that can ban your account and your account will expire as it is.
and for reference you can check this link.

First account never expires, it can get banned so if your developer account gets banned all your published apps will be removed from the playstore. – Jeffy Lazar Apr 10 '15 at 06:34

Google Play Developer accounts last forever as it wouldn't be profitable for small developers to make recurring payments. The only way for you to "expire" an account is getting banned/terminated. Then all apps you publish will get removed.

Google Play Developer accounts does not expire but if Google Play Developer Console account owner has added you as developer then Access to the developer console may expire.

Update 2022:
Google Play Developer accounts does not expire if you have at least 1 app on draft/published, otherwise the developer account will be terminated because Google consider it abandoned due inactivity.
