New Hawaii Property Tax Rates 2017 – 2018

New Hawaii Property Tax Rates 2017 – 2018

– We saw it coming, City Council just adjusted Hawaii’s new property tax rates for fiscal year July 1^st 2017 through June 30^th 2018.

The big change for Honolulu County / Island of Oahu is the now two tiered Residential Rate ‘A’:

$4.50 per $1,000 (0.45%) of the net taxable value for Oahu Residential A property up to $1Mill.

$9.00 per $1,000 (0.9%) of the net taxable value for Oahu Residential A property above $1Mill.

 Oahu’s property tax rate Residential ‘A’ applies to the following properties:

–        Condominium units without Home Exemption.

–        Residential lots zoned R-3.5, R-5, R-7.5, R-10, R-20, with either one or two single family homes, without Home Exemption.

–        Residential vacant lots zoned R-3.5, R-5, R-7.5, R-10 and R-20.

How will this affect you:

The two tiered rate Residential A works as follows:

– If you own residential property on Oahu other than your principal residence (No Home Exemption – either a 2^nd home or a rental property) with a tax assessed value up to $1Mill, your property tax rate  increased to $4.50 from $3.50 effective 7/1/2017.

-If you own residential property on Oahu other than your principal residence (No Home Exemption – either a 2^nd home or a rental property) with a tax assessed value above $1Mill and up to $1.166Mill, your blended property tax rate will range between $4.50 and $6.00 effective 7/1/2017, no increase from $6.00 before.

-If you own residential property on Oahu other than your principal residence (No Home Exemption – either a 2^nd home or a rental property) with a tax assessed value above $1.166Mill, your blended property tax rate  will range between $6.00 and $9.00 effective 7/1/2017, an increase from $6.00 before.

-A sample residential condominium without Home Exemption and a net assessed value of $2Mill will be taxed $13,500 / y ($4.5K on the 1^st $1Mill + $9K on the additional value above $1Mill) effective 7/1/2017, and increase from $12,000 / y before.

Tax bills will be mailed to property owners on July 20, 2017 and payment is due by August 20, 2017.

What can you do about it:
