California Based Aircraft in Excess of 35 Years Old Exempt from Property Tax!

snip
: Even here in liberal Massachusetts,
: sales of airplanes are exempt from sales/use tax.

: Seems hard to believe, but I'll take your word for it. However, the
: above discussion is about annual personal property tax, NOT one-time
: sales or use tax.

Yup, you can believe it. No sales/use tax on purchase of aircraft, parts,
repairs, etc, etc. The only state fee left is annual "registration", which
runs about $250 based on gross weight, class, and engine type (turbine or
piston). The fee goes higher for larger aircraft than your typical 172.

No, just the southern part.

When the San Andreas cuts loose the problem will be solved.


Well.... not to nitpick, but... since the San Andreas Fault is a strike slip
fault, eventually, the western half of the San Francisco peninsula will be west
of Seattle and offshore. Los Angles will be where the Western half of SF is
now. Look out G.R., here we come! ;-)

Well lets look at the "scam" I'm running. I have a 1948 Emigh Trojan, one
of 59 built and one of seven left,

Wow, that is a cool little plane. I haven't seen one in years. As
I recall, they look kinda like an Ercoupe with a straight tail and
corrugated wings. Once you've seen one, you'll never forget it.
