Go Texas
Most of us collectivly (as voters)have the govt. we deserve, not allways the govt. we individually (aviation types) want. Important to let our voice as members of the aviation community be heard. Writing your representative is not as fun as our hobby but is important. Russ

Oregon, $55.00 annually. They claim the fees go for search and rescue.

Yes. Aircraft registration fees go directly to support WSDOT Aviation?s airport preservation...
For a "Home Built" the total fee is $35 per year. For certified single engine airplanes the fee is $65 per year. The fees are prorated by month.

Writing your representatives is important, and may have to be done more than just a few times. Every couple of years a new group of lawmakers needs to hear from us. I know here in Washington State, in the same year, they tried to tack on an aircraft excise/property tax in at least two seperate bills. If it doesn't pass in one, they just throw it in another and see if it will pass.

Illinois
$10. per year...However, I do think we are getting something for our money, as it costs a lot to keep all of our Governors and Ex-Governors incarcerated...

Because they can, and they want the revenue.

California has no aircraft registration fee.
California has a yearly aircraft property tax that comes in the mail from the same folks who mail out the yearly (house) property tax. The envelopes look the same, and I don't know which is which until I open it, Rosie

Parts of Virginia a less GA friendly
So, Virginia has an aircraft sales and use tax (2%) of sale price or estimated value after 60 days in state. Then there is registration. Then some counties (like mine) have a personal property tax at about 5% annually!
