Hawaii Property Taxes  Last updated: 05/14/2013 09:38:24 AM

Hawaii's property taxes are not used to fund education like many mainland states. The schools are funded from the state's general fund. Property taxes in Hawaii are used to fund the city and county administrations and programs and each county sets their own rates and handles the assessments differently. If you are seeking real estate in Hawaii we can help you with information on local property taxes. The articles below include news articles about property taxes as well as updates on other subjects that impact housing costs.

Property Tax assessment rates vary by island: Hawaii Property Tax Rates (New for 2011. See Honolulu City Council Resolution 79 here)

New Tax Rates 2011-2012
