Recover Aircraft Taxes,
Empower Communities

In 2008, a group of aviation experts came together around one basic principle: every aircraft owner should pay their fair share of taxes. We witnessed firsthand the ways aircraft avoid paying personal property or sales and use taxes. We saw cities and schools struggling to function, desperate for funding to better serve their communities. When owners don’t pay their taxes, they’re stealing from communities — from our community.

Known as “The Aircraft Guys,” Specialized Tax Recovery (STR) developed the first patented process to help state and local tax departments discover, locate, and value these non-compliant aircraft within their jurisdiction. We give them what they need to collect these otherwise omitted taxes owed to them.

And stand by them every step of the way. 

Everyone at Specialized Tax Recovery believes in fair and equitable taxation. There will always be aircraft owners who skirt their responsibility. We know how they do it. This money belongs to your community, your cities, and most importantly, your schools. And we’re going to get it back.
