The feds always rat you out to the state, but what the states do with the information varies greatly from state to state. Here in NM you only pay the annual registration, which is $.02/lb of gross weight for the first two years, $.015/lb for the second 2 years, then $.01/lb of gross weight once the airplane is more than 4 years old. My 1200 lb gross KR cost me $24 the first two years, and now cost me $12/year to keep registered with the state.
Other states often times expect to collect sales tax on either the value of the plane or the value of the parts purchased that did not have sales tax paid previously, plus the annual registration fee. -Jeff On Sat, 22 Jan 2005 10:22:47 -0500 "Jack Cooper" <kr2coo...@earthlink.net> writes: > I live in NC and have registered my airplane.
