To provide some information that should give you a better idea of just how nice Pilot's Point is, we have made up a list of frequently asked questions. We hope that it gives you a good enough idea of Pilot's Point to entice you into contacting us with your specific questions.

What is the runway like?
Runway orientation is east-west for the 2600 ft. runway with a gentle slope to the east (land west and takeoff to the east). The 1900 ft. runway is oriented northwest-southeast with a slight down hill gradient. Trees are present on the west end of the long runway so operations east for takeoff and west for landing are required.

Who owns the runway?
The runway is owned by Pilot's Point Airpark Home Owner Association.

Are there any Associations dues?
Yes, the owners contribute dues for each tract that he owns. The dues are used for paying the taxes on the runway, maintenance of the runway and roads in the park, etc. The dues are kept as low as possible, and this year they were set at $300 per tract. Each year the needs will be assessed, and the rate will be determined to meet those needs. We think that these are some of the lowest association dues anywhere for an airpark.

What about association rules? Can I live with them?
There is a set of association by-laws, but they are VERY minimal, and are mostly common sense.

Tracts range in size from .8 to about 3 acres and have electricity. Access to the runway is either direct from the tract, or by means of a taxiway. Each tract is individual in character, in that some are heavily wooded, while others are open meadow.

How heavy is the tax burden in the area?
Taxes are very low by almost anyone's standard. The taxes on the runway (approx. 7.75 acres) were $121 for the year 2000. The formula for figuring the property taxes is: 20% of the fair market value of the property times the millage rate. The current millage rate is somewhere between 35 and 40. So, a $100,000 property would have a tax bill of about $800.

What services are available on the field?
None. No fuel, no repair station, no runway lights, no pavement, NO HASSLES. But, all of these services are just a few miles away. The airports in Cassville and Branson have it all.

What about building codes and subdivision restrictions?
There are minimum codes that have to be met, but there are a few restrictive covenants for the subdivision. They are designed to maintain the value of the properties, but not overburden the residents. Mobile homes and live stock are not allowed on any of the tracts that are available.

What is the surrounding area like?
Within a few miles, there is fishing, golf, and shopping. The quiet little town of Shell Knob is 3 miles away, with Cassville being about 15 miles, Branson at 25 miles and Springfield being 50 miles away. It is situated in the center of the country, making it easy to travel in any direction to get other parts of the country.
