Attention Ohio Aircraft Owners:

Earlier this year the Ohio 126th General Assembly passed the FY
2006-2007 General Revenue Budget Bill. That legislation changed the
aircraft registration license tax. The annual aircraft registration
license tax is now $15 for gliders and balloons and $15 per seat for all
other aircraft based on the manufacturer's maximum listed seating
capacity. The tax is in lieu of all other taxes on or with respect to
ownership of aircraft.

The legislation directed that aircraft registration license taxes are to
be deposited in the newly created Airport Assistance Fund for airport
maintenance and capital improvements to publicly owned airports.

The calendar year 2006 aircraft registration license tax revenues are
expected to fund three or four paving and obstruction removal projects
at county airports in Ohio. For a list of ongoing airport improvements
as well as other information about aviation in Ohio, check out our

Yours in Aviation,
