$\begingroup$ State registration depends on the state. In Wisconsin, it is required to be renewed annually. Some states do not require registration. $\endgroup$– Ron BeyerNov 24, 2018 at 4:44

$\begingroup$ California doesn’t have a registration system per se, but we pay property tax on the aircraft each year, so if you own an aircraft you are "registered" with the state. $\endgroup$– JScarryNov 24, 2018 at 16:35

Federal registration is for three years, according to the FAA (the actual regulations are in 14 CFR 47.40):
- Aircraft registration issued due to renewal expires three years from the expiration date of the previous certificate.
- Aircraft registration issued to a new, import, or reinstated aircraft entering or re-entering the U.S. Civil Aircraft Register expires three years after the last day of the month in which it is issued.
State registration - if any - is up to each state so you need to check with the state where the aircraft's owner registered it.
