Help repeal Washington state’s new aircraft tax

Rep. Tom Dent (R-Wash.-13), Washington State Aviation Caucus cochair, is requesting input from the aviation community via this short, anonymous, 11-question survey. Your responses will support efforts to revise key sections of Washington State Senate Bill 5801 (Sections 207 and 208), which imposes a new 10% tax increase on any aircraft valued over $500,000.

     • Section 207: Imposes a “luxury tax” on qualifying aircraft
     • Section 208: Imposes a “privilege tax” on the same aircraft.

Although legislative leadership has signaled a willingness to revisit these provisions, lawmakers need concrete data to make the case.

Please complete the anonymous survey by Jul. 7, 2025, to help demonstrate the harmful impact these taxes could have on Washington’s aviation sector and economy.
