The tax man cometh

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?
