A Port-A-Port hangar is going on auction in my area. Anyone know anything about them? How are they to move?
If located are on an airport lease in my state they get taxed a personal property, or you can tag them as a commercial trailer.Also, if any of you have had them, have you had any luck on dodging taxes because they are technically "portable"?
It isn't now, nor would it be, if I bought it, on airport property.If located are on an airport lease in my state they get taxed a personal property, or you can tag them as a commercial trailer.
I think I'd take it away and put it somewhere more friendly.We bought them and planted them, along with Nunnos, on a City airport. Worked fine for 40 years, and after five years they were depreciated to zero, so no tax.
Now the worry warts decided we needed a lease, and failed to read the fine print. Lease holders, in eleven more years, will be told by the city,at the city's option, to either
Remove your hangar at your expense,
give up ownership of your hangar to the city.
There is no other option - of course the city can opt to re-sell your hangar to you, but it may have to go to open bid.
Maybe - I surely get my money's worth. I pay $292/mo. for both hangars total, and for that I get daily use of the rest of the airport for whatever I pay in taxes. My insurance is more than that, counting CFI and insurance on the instructional Cub. I feel like I am stealing . . .
I was 3% of all daily operations until Coast came in with a dozen Cherokees, three twins, and four Cirrusi. Now I am under 2% - at the eighth busiest airport in the US. Still having a blast.
