I’d prefer to see reponses to Rob’s questions on this list. I’m
considering a move to Arizona (and would probably take my Legacy J ). I’ve
been wondering about the tax implications. I’ve already paid sales tax in WA
state and most states don’t require you to pay sales tax twice. But there is
the annual registration. I saw something that mentioned 0.5% of the aircraft’s
value, but don’t know if that applies to homebuiltsor even if it is correct.

Subject: Arizona Aircraft Tax
Any Arizonans out there who can enlighten me about aircraft taxes
in Arizona? According to my web research, experimentals and homebuilts
pay an annual $20 registration fee. I did not see anything about sales
tax.
My Lancair is not finished -- there is no registration
certificate, no airworthiness certificate, merely a collection of items that is
beginning to resemble an aircraft. Before I do something stupid like call
the state of Arizona and say "this is my name and address and my unfinished
Lancair is in a hangar at this airport, do I owe you any money?" I'd like
to find out what the true story is...
