Residents impacted by the Kona low storm encouraged to apply for real property tax relief

HONOLULU — The City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Budget and Fiscal Services is notifying residents whose properties were impacted by the Kona low storm that they may be eligible for a tax break.

A downloadable form is available at the Real Property Assessment Division website. Once completed, residents are asked to mail or hand deliver it to these addresses:

  • Department of Budget and Fiscal Services’ Honolulu Office: 842 Bethel Street, Basement, Honolulu, HI 96813
  • Department of Budget and Fiscal Services’ Kapolei Office: 1000 Uluʻōhiʻa Street, Room 206, Kapolei, HI 96707

The form is fast and easy to fill out. Residents are asked to include supporting documentation, including photographs, repair estimates, and insurance claims.

Real property tax remission means that City and County of Honolulu residents who had their real property damaged or destroyed as a result of a natural disaster could have property tax relief for that tax year. The deadline to file the form is June 30. Anyone with questions can visit one of the offices listed above or contact the Real Property Assessment Division at (808) 768-3799.
