State Aviation Issues and Legislation

Aircraft of Historical Significance Property Tax Exemption: Section 220.5
    • Annotated letter in response to tax payers questions
    • Senate Bill 1059--Approved Sept 28, 2003. Amends Tax Code 220.5 to require the owner of the aircraft to demonstrate proof of the aircraft's participation in 12 annual public events. The owner is required to attach a certificate of attendance from the event coordinator. Also allows for partial exemption due to late filing.
    • Sacramento County: 2004 Claim for exemption form
    • State Form BOE-260-B: From the San Louis Obispo Assessor's office.
    • Update 1/11/04: Tax exemption for historical aircraft -- In a letter to the CA Board of Equalization, Jay White, CPA President requested that the requirement of proof of attendance be delayed until 2005 since no certificates of attendance were issued during 2003. Aircraft owners had no knowledge that a certificate would be required for 2004. It is reported that the Officials of the Board of Equalization agreed and will issue a directive to all county assessors stating that the new requirement will become effective in 2005. Assessors will be directed to utilize the application form currently in use.
