$287,273 for Four Years of Property Taxes?

Not to mention the potential for being a career killer . . .

How exactly does one 'forget' that one owe over a quarter of a million dollars?

Same old crap; damn politicians. I'll gladly march in the street when the time comes.

Property tax on a plane?

Their taxing anything that doesn't breath ,right now.
(The Idiot Bureaucrats STILL haven't figured out The Tax Base has EVAPORATED
AND their not gonna be able to continue with "Business as Usual" Financially.)

If you read the article you'll see it's the "Birthers","Palinistas" and Kochs going
after McCaskill.
(Bet their[McCaskill's] accountant got REAMED)

Nice Plane,Though.

Oldest trick in the Southeast is to register a BIG Boat in N.C. and enjoy
"Tarheel" LOW marine taxes on the Vessel.
'Used to be Marinas in Ga.,Fla.,Alabama,Miss. were full of N.C. registered
Vessels.

Why not..Here in California we also have to pay property tax on boats. Alameda county has an assessor that monitors all the harbors in Oakland and Alameda.

well then whats next?property tax on cars,motorcycles,bicycles etc.i say sales tax is enough.i could see maybe a houseboat that you could live on and maybe a motorhome,but if you are already paying to license it every year that should be enough.

Already here we (MS) pay tax on cars each year when you renew plate. The higher dollar the car the more $$. Ad Volorem TaX as its called. Had this tax in Kansas as well.

Indiana and Iowa also had a property tax on cars. Indiana got theirs passed by saying the property taxes would stay lower, then they raised the property tax anyway

i'm in iowa and we have no yearly tax on cars.just sales tax when you buy.

sorry maybe it was something different, when I was there the guys were complaining about a big tax on car registrations, they all had trucks so they could avoid it through some exemption for farmers

On top of this, McCaskill signed on in February as a co-sponsor of Senate legislation that would fire federal employees if they are “seriously delinquent” in paying their own federal taxes.

D'oh indeed.

In CT we pay separate property tax on cars, trucks, motorcycles and trailers (boat, utility, camper, snowmobile). Boat, PWC, snowmobile and plane registrations have the tax built in to them so the taxes get paid, just not in a separate bill.

Well, you know politicians... they are notorious for "mis-remembering" things.

This is either a case of trusting your accountants to do their job with no oversight or plane dishonesty!

The Pilatus is a nice plane.
