City and County of Honolulu <br />CM Waters: Yesterday I introduced 3 bills dealing with housing. One of them is similar to the <br />Aina Kupuna dedication proposal for Maui. The second one is a long term lease dedication <br />proposal. The 3rd is an empty home tax proposal. Ex: Vancouver was able to raise 103 million <br />from an empty homes tax in 2023. <br />CM Kimball: We have Bill 174 which might be of interest to you. Basically, if people are doing <br />long term rentals on their primary residence property, they kick into another tax class. That way <br />we let them stay in the homeowners tax class and get them all of those benefits as another way to <br />encourage long term rentals. <br />Treasurer Waters: Bill 48 htt2s://hnldoc.ehawcaii.gov/hnldoc/document-download?id=-22045 <br />Resources shared from CMKimball: <br />Lincoln Institute Report <br />httos://zthero.hawaii.edu/wo-content/ut)loads/2024/0S/HawaiiHousinzF'actbook2024.Scf <br />UHERO Report <br />httos://aDo.lincolninst.edu/sites/de ault/f`ile.Y/P`TAAG_Full 2024. d <br />Why Not Just Tax Them? <br />A Middle Ground on Addressing Short -Term Rentals <br />https -//uhero. hawaii. edu/why-not-i u.st-tax-them-a-middle-ground-on-addressing-short-term-renta <br />IS/ <br />Motion to accept county reports.
