Jeff Bezos sent notice of overdue by Los Angeles County: You owe $244,000 taxes

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has been served notice by the Los Angeles County for about $244,000 in overdue taxes and fees tied to his luxury jet. According to a report by LA Times, the bill comes as part of a sweeping effort by County Assessor Jeff Prang to track down ultrawealthy jet owners who failed to pay property taxes on their aircraft. Under California law, private jet owners must pay an annual 1% property tax on their planes, assessed based on where the aircraft is “habitually situated” when not in flight. That means it doesn’t matter where the plane is registered or where the owner lives—if the jet spends most of its time on the ground in L.A.
