Buying a plane? A Wyoming LLC can save you thousands.

How aircraft registration through a Wyoming LLC works

Many states charge sales tax when you buy an aircraft, and some charge personal-property tax on it every year. Holding the aircraft in a Wyoming LLC can help you avoid both in states that charge them — savings that can run into the thousands on a single purchase. As an example, on a $100,000 aircraft at a 6% sales tax rate, that's $6,000 in tax.

We form the Wyoming LLC for you, serve as its registered agent from our Cheyenne office, and help with the paperwork to hold the aircraft in the LLC's name — the same way we've handled formations for clients since 2006.

Tax rules vary by state and by where the aircraft is based and used. This page isn't tax or legal advice — call or text us and we'll walk through your situation, and confirm the details with your own tax professional.

What's included

• Wyoming LLC formation and state filing
• Registered agent service from our Cheyenne office
• The liability protection of holding the aircraft in an LLC
• Optional nominee service to keep your name out of public aircraft records
• Simple annual renewal at $69 per year

Who this is for

Pilots and owners buying a new or used aircraft who live in a state that charges sales tax or annual personal-property tax on aircraft, and anyone who wants the aircraft held in an LLC rather than in their personal name.
