The states all have inspectors that make sure
airplanes keep at airports
are registered correctly and have paid the
appropriate taxes.>>>
Worse than true!
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.
So yes they
have inspectors but they are happy to collect inappropriate
taxes as
well. :-(
