Responsibilities

Own end-to-end aircraft personal property tax compliance across applicable state and local jurisdictions, including annual renditions/returns prepared for executive signature.
Use ATP’s aircraft tracking and scheduling systems to establish situs exposure and days-in-jurisdiction, anticipate where filings and bills should occur, and reduce surprises.
Use ATP’s aircraft and engine time tracking systems and Aircraft Bluebook to determine aircraft valuation used for renditions, filings, review of assessments, and review of bills. Build and run a controlled compliance calendar with internal deadlines, required inputs, and audit-ready documentation.
Prevent duplicate renditions and duplicate payments by reconciling filings, assessments, and payments across jurisdictions.
Manage notices, delinquency issues, and penalty/interest abatements; serve as the primary point of contact with taxing authorities for aircraft property tax matters.
Manage early-stage audits and disputes (documentation, timelines, first-round discussions) and coordinate escalation to outside consultants/attorneys when required.
Partner with Operations leadership to provide deadline-sensitive recommendations (e.g., January 1 positioning) while recognizing operational constraints.
Develop internal tools/workflows and provide clear requirements to ATP’s developer team to reduce redundancy and manual data entry over time.
Manage real property tax matters for company-owned facilities, including monitoring assessments, reviewing valuations, and coordinating challenges or appeals where assessments do not reflect market conditions.
