Dear Chairman Arakaki:
Enclosed is a Bill for an Ordinance amending Chapter 19, article 10, section 19-71 of the Hawaii
County Code, relating to home exemptions. Subsection 19-71(a) provides real property tax
exemptions for real property owned and occupied as a principal home.
The purpose of this measure is to improve the definition of real property owned and occupied as
a principal home as defined in subsection 19-71(e). We are proposing three elements necessary
for real property to be considered a principal home and some of the documentation that the
director of finance may require as evidence of the owner's intent to create or maintain a principal
home.
Should you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
William T kaba
Director
