I'm a Realtor in Michigan and we have a similar "homestead" law. In MI
not only is there a cap on your taxable value, you pay less millage
also. There are several runway communities around here (southeast MI)
and some people attach their hangars and others don't. The law says that
the land and all buildings on that piece of land form your "homestead"
so there is no tax advantage for an attached hangar.

Personally, I would not be in favor of building an attached hangar.

My wife likes to retire early, while I like to stay up late. If I wanted to
work on something, I would have to worry about making too much noise. Fumes
would be another thing that would be a problem with an attached shop.

A short walkway to the hangar would be all that is needed to isolate noise
and smells.
