Durham County Antique Aircraft Questionnaire

The Durham County Antique Aircraft Questionnaire is the application questionnaire that Durham County Tax Administration uses to collect an aircraft owner's information and answers about an antique aircraft. The form is headed "To Apply" and is returned to the Listing Division of the county's Tax Administration office.

The top block identifies the owner and the aircraft: owner's name, address, city, state and ZIP, home, work and mobile phone numbers, tail number, serial number, tax bill number and make, model and year.

Five Yes/No questions follow:

• Is the aircraft registered with the Federal Aviation Administration?
• Is it a model year 1954 or older?
• Is it maintained primarily for use in exhibitions, club activities, air shows and other public interest functions?
• Is it used only occasionally for other purposes?
• Is it used for the production of income?

The form ends with an Affirmation of Applicant, in which the applicant states, under penalties prescribed by law, that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information furnished is true and complete. The applicant signs and dates it.

The form prints no number or revision date. On its forms page the county groups it under "Antique Aircraft/Vehicle Forms" next to an Antique Aircraft Information document and a separate antique auto form and information sheet, so aircraft owners use this questionnaire and not the auto form.

The owner of an antique aircraft in Durham County who is applying through Durham County Tax Administration completes this questionnaire. The form asks for the owner's name, the aircraft's tail number, serial number and make, model and year, and for the tax bill number, so it is meant for someone who already has the aircraft on the county's records or has received a bill for it.

The five questions show what the county asks about each aircraft: whether it is registered with the Federal Aviation Administration, whether it is model year 1954 or older, whether it is maintained primarily for exhibitions, club activities, air shows and other public interest functions, whether it is used only occasionally for other purposes, and whether it is used to produce income. The form itself does not say which answers qualify, so check with the Tax Administration office before relying on a particular answer.

Owners of antique automobiles do not use this form; the county lists a separate antique auto form and information sheet on its forms page. The questionnaire has one signature line for the applicant and no separate block for a representative.

The questionnaire is the application itself, so you complete and return it when you want Durham County Tax Administration to consider the aircraft under it; the form begins "To Apply: complete this form and return to" the Listing Division. No due date is printed on the form, and the county's forms page gives none for it either.

Have the tax bill number ready before you start, because the form asks for it next to the tail number and serial number. For questions about timing or about how the county treats the aircraft, call Durham County Tax Administration at (919) 560-0300 or write to [email protected], the contact details printed at the foot of the form.

The form gives one return channel: send or deliver the completed, signed questionnaire to the county's Tax Administration office.
