AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION APPLICATION INFORMATION
In accordance with the Ohio Revised Code 4561.17 and 4561.18, owners of Ohio based aircraft are required to register
their aircraft with the Office of Aviation annually regardless of their airworthiness status.
A license tax is required to be paid for all airworthy aircraft. The registration period for previously registered aircraft runs
between January 1 and January 31 annually. Registrations postmarked or processed online after January 31 are subject
to a fine of up to $500. There is a fine of up to $500 per aircraft for failing to annually register any aircraft based in Ohio.
NOT AIRWORTHY AIRCRAFT ARE REQUIRED TO BE REGISTERED
Even though an aircraft may not be airworthy, it is still required to be registered as such with the Office of Aviation
annually. No fee is required for aircraft registered as Not Airworthy. If the aircraft becomes airworthy at any time during
the year, the owner must contact the Office of Aviation to update its status and pay the applicable registration fee.
NEW REGISTRATION – Upon purchasing an aircraft, the buyer must make application for registration within 30 days of
purchase. There is no reduction in registration fee for aircraft purchased later in the year.
Ohio Aircraft Registrations are non-transferable.
