❓ What are the basic state-level drone registration requirements?

Each state has unique drone registration requirements in addition to federal FAA registration. Most states require:

• Registration of drones weighing over 0.55 lbs (250g)
• Payment of state-specific registration fees (typically $5-25)
• Display of both state and federal registration numbers on the drone
• Annual renewal of state registration

For example, California requires registration through the Department of Transportation, while Texas manages drone registration through their Department of Public Safety. Always check your specific state's aviation authority website for current requirements.
