RE: simply acquiring and N number in anticipation of building puts you on the property tax rolls
In South Carolina, property tax is collected by the counties and each county charges you what they will. Reserving the number does not put you on the tax rolls. As soon as you register the plane, you are put on the roles. We are charged based on the value that they apply to the property and since they have no real way to value the property, getting documentation as Mark L. suggested is something that can work in our favor. How did we ever let this happen to us? "There is a time for building and a time for flying, and the time for building has long since expired."
