History
The state Aviation Fund is established consisting of the following: 1) Aviation fuel taxes or motor
vehicle fuel taxes deposited by the department; 2) Monies deposited by the department as a result
of the sale of an abandoned aircraft or seized aircraft; 3) The amount of flight property tax that
the department of revenue has deposited; 4) Registration fees, license taxes and penalties
collected; 5) Monies received by the department from the operation of airports; and 6) The amount
of jet fuel excise tax and jet fuel use tax that the department of revenue has deposited (A.R.S. §

The State Transportation Board (Board) is directed to distribute monies appropriated to the
Arizona Department of Transportation from the state Aviation Fund for planning, design,
development, acquisition of interests in land, construction and improvement of publicly owned
and operated airport facilities in counties, incorporated cities and towns and Indian
reservations. The Board is to distribute these monies according to the needs for these facilities
as determined by the Board. No more than ten percent of the average annual revenue that the
fund received for the past three years may be awarded to any one airport in grants in any fiscal
year (A.R.S. § 28-8202).
