What is the Use Tax in Ventura County and when does it need to be paid? I have also heard of a annual property tax. Same what and when.
You should pay this to the State Board of Equalization. I put the use tax on my CA state taxes one year and they didn't accept it. Ended up getting the money refunded to me and then I had to send it to the BoE with penalties for late payment!

What if you purchased a kit from a private seller that could not finish it and paid cash? Possibly at a pretty good savings verses a new kit from Van's? Would you report that? How would they know how much you paid? Or, is this going to be based on what they think the "value" is?
I have dealt with this before with the DMV and a car I built from basically parts acquired from almost everywhere. I was guilty and had to prove my innocence!! The DMV decided what "THEY" thought it was worth, which was way more than the sum total of the used parts I had purchased. Basically charging me tax on my labor! I won the argument, but it was an uphill battle.
God, I hate this state.

Why live in Calif?
Weather. It is perfect. Almost no bugs. Low humidity. Diversity. Intellectual stimulation. Fresh produce all year. In the SF bay area the smog levels are low.
Politics are strange but I ignore that.
Is it expensive? Yes. Every place nice I have been to is.
