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.

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% Frank Whiteley |
