State aircraft registration?
Can anyone tell me why the individual states charge an aircraft registration fee, or why a state aircraft registration system exists?
To add insult, here in Ohio, the registration must be completed annually and is not pro-rated. My plane, now being registered in October, will be due for another fee in January. I called the ODOT and asked if a plane registered in late December would also be due again in January. The answer was "yes".
For a 2-seater the $30 fee will not break the bank, but it at least irritated me enough to write this post.

30 bucks, I'll take it!
Think of it as a tax and not a registration. When they call it a "registration" you can't deduct it off your other taxes.
Here in NC, we have to pay personal property tax on our cars, trucks, boats, planes, etc.
I have two bills for my RV, one for the city and one for the county where it is based. Because I have a kit plane, I was able to set the value and keep the cost "down". $183.99 for the County tax and $37.35 for the city tax.
It is unclear to me the "value" I get for those tax dollars as I was based at a privately owned airport out in the country that was annexed by the city solely for the taxes (none of the surrounding houses were annexed with the airport).

Also has no such thing. Also, no state income tax. The County has tried to tax my toolbox yearly (because I make money with it). I told them that I would pay when they also charged my rancher neighbors for theirs. That shut 'em up.

Don't register it now. Wait until Jan. I know several guys who have never registered their plane - in Ohio.

$5 as I recall. It helps fund our department of aviation - one government group here in Virginia that actually supports and promotes aviation. If I understood correctly, our director of aviation even flies an experimental aircraft - even if I misunderstood his comment, he certainly supports us.
