SB0157 - Property Taxation of Aircraft

State Impact:
The provisions of this bill change the way certain air charter service providers pay their taxes. Instead of paying property tax through central assessment, these companies will be paying a registration fee of 0.0025 of the average wholesale value of an aircraft that is owned by a person other than the air charter service provider. Because of the switch, enactment of this bill will increase revenue to the Transportation Fund Aeronautics Restricted Account by $126,000.

Individual, Business and/or Local Impact:
Enactment of this bill will shift $10,300,00 in taxable value from companies that provide air charter service to other businesses and individuals. On a $250,000 home, the average property tax increase would be $0.03. On a $1,000,000 business, the average property tax increase would be $2.00. Local revenue could increase by $375 through a $25 per plane fee.
