Here in FL the hangar (with home) is part of your homestead and gives
you some major property tax advantages. Property taxes can only be
raised 3%/year on homestead property, while "commercial" property is
taxed at "full market value."
This has hurt a lot of people who purchased hangars a few years ago and
now see their property taxes on their hangars exceeding the taxes on
their homes!
