History

Laws 1995, Chapter 132 established the State Aviation Fund that consists of:

1) Aviation or motor vehicle fuel taxes deposited by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT);

2) Monies deposited by ADOT as a result of the sale of an abandoned aircraft;

3) The amount of flight property tax that the Arizona Department of Revenue (DOR) has deposited;

4) Registration fees, license taxes and penalties collected for aircraft registration and taxation;

5) Monies received from ADOT from the operation of airports; and

6) The amount of jet fuel excise tax and jet fuel use tax that DOR has deposited. ADOT is required to administer monies that are appropriated by the legislature from the State Aviation Fund.

The Board of Transportation (BOT) must distribute appropriated monies for planning, design, development, acquisition of interests in land, construction and improvement of publicly owned and operated airport facilities in counties, incorporated cities and towns and Indian reservations. These monies are distributed according to needs of these facilities as determined by BOT. No more than 10% of the average annual revenue that the fund received for the past three years may be awarded to any one airport in grants in any fiscal year (A.R.S. § 28-8202).
