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.

You will pay a one time 'use tax' if you bring a glider into the
state, or a 'sales tax' if you buy one domiciled here. If you keep
the glider in an unincorporated area, the rate is 2.9%
