Tie-down and Taxes
Inform LA Co.Tax Assessor that the glider is no longer in LA Co. and
that it permanently left the county in Feb. '06.
They will probably ask you where it is now located, but you have a
Constitutional right against self-incrimination. I alway just tell
them "it is not in LA Co." and I never hear from LA again (been thru
this with 4 gliders). I am, however, awaiting the other county's
assessment.

L.A. County) to a tiedown at Cal City (in Kern County).
Anybody else have any advice on dealing with the tax assessor statement
that came? I moved it up to the highlands in February of 2006, so
technically I think it's a Kern County Dweller now, and I pay the tax
to Kern, rather than L.A. (currently, there isn't room at the inn in
L.A. to keep the glider...).
Any advice on minimum headach with the tax man (men?...er,
women?)...since it's old and not very valuable, I don't mind paying a
modicum of tax...after all, it helps pay for repaving runways, roads
(for the landouts...or at least the crew), etc., etc., etc., -- or
that's what they SAY...
