Can anyone tell me whether one must pay property tax on a glider in
Colorado? If so, how is it calculated? There was a thread on this a
couple of years ago; looking for recent data. Thanks.

About twenty years ago then Governor Roy Romer (D), himself a GA pilot
and former FBO, was successful in shifting aircraft ownership taxes to
a state fuel tax on Jet A and AVGAS. Since your glider uses no fuel,
you will pay no aviation taxes in Colorado. However, you may pay some
tax indirectly in tow fees because of the fuel your tow plane uses.
