Did you at any time in the last year have your aircraft in California?
Do you own property in Santa Barbara County CA?

there was a thread last year about someone receiving a tax letter from Kern
County just because someone else may have mentioned that he was moving there
(or something like that), even though the gliders have always been based
elsewhere and he had to prove that they were indeed not in Kern Co and that
he had paid the tax in a different CA County

When counties get desperate for Tax dollars, you have to prove to them that
you don't owe the tax.

I have read some postings of California trying to tax Nevada aircraft but
this one is really far out!

I received one each for my two sailplanes, an Aircraft Statement form for
me
to complete for the
the Assessor of Santa Barbara County,CA so that my aircraft can be
equitably valued!
And if I fail to file these forms, it requires the Assessor to add a 10%
penalty to the value of my aircraft.
The interesting thing is, these two aircraft have been based in Ohio for
ten
and 20 years, respectively.
These people must be smoking something while they go through the entire
FAA
aircraft list.
The letters were sent to Ohio so they had to see my address when they
sent
them.

What in the world are these people thinking?
