The states all have inspectors that make sure airplanes keep at airports
are registered correctly and have paid the appropriate taxes.>>>

Worse than true! =20

I had parked my plane in California for a week for engine work.  The
next month I got a bill from the Calif. taxation department for personal
property tax.  I suggested they shove it and they suggested that they
would file a lien on the aircraft title until the tax was paid.  The
plane was seen at an airport when their inspector was taking inventory
and was therefore subject to Calif. taxation.  Took weeks of calls and
letters and documents to convince them I did not live and the aircraft
was not based in California. =20

So yes they have inspectors but they are happy to collect inappropriate
taxes as well.  :-(
