Thanks for the responses.
Any info on personal property taxes on small GA planes?
I'm debating whether or not I can afford to have the old Cub I've got down there while I'm working. Have a friend who will look after her in Juneau for the season otherwise. Would be cool to do some exploring there, but not sure I can justify the fuel cost to get there, and a state fee would probably make it too costly. Guessing it would apply whether I became a legal state resident or not? (I'm guessing CA probably does have some sort of tax like this, anyway)
