nonprofit corporation and sold to qualified households earning not more than 80%
of the median, or rented to qualified households earning not more than 60% of the
median, the discount shall not exceed 50% of the credits. The administrator may
waive these requirements if the project earning the excess credits addresses a

(d) When a condominium property regime is declared for a property, each unit shall be
classified upon consideration of its actual use into one of the general classes in the
same manner as land.
(e) Classification of land:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (e)(2) of this section, land shall be
classified, upon consideration of its highest and best use, into the following
general classes:
(A) Residential;
(B) Affordable rental housing;
(C) Apartment;
(D) Hotel and resort;
(E) Commercial;
(F) Industrial;
(G) Agricultural or native forests;
(H) Conservation; and
(I) Homeowner.
(2) In assigning land to one of the general classes the director of finance shall give
major consideration to the districting established by the land use commission
pursuant to chapter 205, Hawai‘i Revised Statutes, the districting established
by the County in its general plan and zoning ordinance, use classifications
established in the general plan of the State, and such other factors which
influence highest and best use, except that parcels which are used as the
owner’s principal residence shall be classified as “homeowner” without regard
to the highest and best use, provided that the director has granted to the
owner a home exemption in accordance with sections 19-71 to 19-72.
(A) The homeowner class is exclusively reserved for properties which are
used as the owner’s principal residence. Uses which shall not qualify as
“homeowner” include:
(i) Real property which is used for commercial or income-producing
purposes, except as exempted under section 19-71(a) or (b).
(ii) Real property which is used for residential rental purposes, whether

19-71(a) and affordable rental housing.
(iii) Real property which is used for any purpose other than the owner’s
principal residence, with the exception of any property valued
according to its agricultural use pursuant to sections 19-57, 19-59,
or 19-60.
(B) The affordable rental housing class is exclusively reserved for properties
which meet the eligible requirements for this class and have the annual
required application timely filed. Real property which is used for
commercial or income-producing purposes shall not qualify as “affordable
rental housing,” except:

(ii) Real property with agricultural use pursuant to sections 19-57, 19-
59, or 19-60.
(3) Whenever there is an overlap or contradiction in districting or use
classification between the County and the State, zoned districts by the County
shall take precedence.
(f) In determining the value of buildings, consideration shall be given to any additions,
alterations, remodeling, modifications or other new construction, improvement or
repair work undertaken upon or made to existing buildings as the same may result
in higher assessable valuation of said buildings; provided, however, that the
increase in value resulting from any additions, alterations, modifications or other
new construction, improvements or repair work to buildings undertaken or made by
the owner-occupant thereof pursuant to the requirements of any urban
redevelopment, rehabilitation or conservation project under the provisions of part II
of chapter 53, Hawai‘i Revised Statutes, shall not increase the assessable valuation
of any building for a period of seven years from the date of certification as
hereinafter provided.
It is further provided that the owner-occupant shall file with the director of
finance, in the manner and place which the director may designate, a statement of
the details of the improvements certified in the following manner:
(1) In the case of additions, alterations, modifications or other new construction,
improvements or repair work to a building that are undertaken pursuant to
any urban redevelopment, rehabilitation or conservation project as
hereinabove mentioned, the statement shall be certified by the mayor or any
government official designated by the mayor and approved by the council, that
the additions, alterations, modifications, or other new construction,
improvement or repair work to the buildings were made and satisfactorily
comply with the particular urban redevelopment, rehabilitation or
conservation act provision, or
(2) In the case of maintenance or repairs to a residential building undertaken
pursuant to any health, safety, sanitation or other governmental code
provision, the statement shall be certified by the mayor or any governmental
official designated by the mayor and approved by the council, that:
(A) The building was inspected by them and found to be substandard when
the owner-occupant made the claim, and
(B) The maintenance or repairs to the buildings were made and
satisfactorily comply with the particular code provision.

§ 19-71 H AWAI‘I C OUNTY C ODE
(e) For purposes of this section, the term “real property owned and occupied as a
principal home” is defined as the place where an individual has a true, fixed,
permanent home and principal establishment, and to which place the individual
has, whenever absent, the intention of returning. It is the place in which an
individual has voluntarily fixed habitation, not for mere special, temporary, or
vacation purpose, but with the intention of making a permanent home.
(1) Four elements are necessary for real property to be considered a “principal
home.”
(A) The owner has no other home exemption or principal home in any other
jurisdiction;
(B) The owner maintains the principal home residence within the County;
(C) The owner’s actual physical occupancy of the principal home within the
County; and
(D) The owner has filed a Hawai‘i state income tax return as a full time
resident for each fiscal year that the exemption is sought, or:
(i) In the case of an owner who has not earned sufficient income to
require the filing of a Hawai‘i state income tax return, the owner
may seek a conditional waiver of this requirement from the director
by certifying that the only reason the waiver is sought is insufficient
income to require the filing of a Hawaii state income tax return,
and by providing evidence to the satisfaction of the director that the
owner is a full time resident; or
(ii) In the case of an owner who relocated to the County of Hawaii and
has not yet had the opportunity to file a Hawaii state income tax
return, but intends to file a Hawaii state income tax return at the
next tax return filing deadline, that owner may seek from the
director a conditional waiver of this requirement by certifying that
the owner shall file a Hawai‘i state income tax return within the
next twelve months. In the event the owner does not file a Hawai‘i
state income tax return within the twelve month period, the owner
shall be charged the amount of tax that was exempted and shall not
be eligible to apply for the exemption under this section for one year.
(2) Maintaining a principal residence may be evidenced by one or more of the
following:
(A) Occupancy of the home in the County for more than two hundred
calendar days of the calendar year for which the exemption is sought;
(B) Registering to vote in the County;
(C) Being stationed in the County under military orders of the United States
and must claim residency only in Hawai‘i; or
(D) Possession of any of the following with a reported address within the
County of Hawai‘i:
(i) Valid Hawai‘i driver’s license.
(ii) Hawai‘i state identification card.
(iii) Resident aliens possessing a valid resident alien card (“green card”)
must claim residency only in Hawai‘i.

registration application, with only the last four digits of the owner’s
social security number visible.
(v) U.S. Internal Revenue Service tax return with only the last four
digits of the social security number visible.
The director of finance may require documentation of the above or
additional evidence of residence in the County from a property owner applying
for an exemption or from an owner as evidence of continued qualification for
an exemption. Failure to respond fully to the director’s request, or in the event
the director receives satisfactory evidence that a claimant occupies a
permanent home outside the County or there is documented evidence the
claimant resides outside of the County for more than one hundred sixty-five
calendar days, shall be deemed grounds for denying a claim for exemption or
disallowing an existing exemption.
(f) Real property qualifying under subsection (a) shall be entitled to an additional
exemption of twenty percent of the assessed value of the property not to exceed an
additional $100,000.

Section 19-99. Appeal to board of review.
The notice of appeal of a real property assessment must be lodged with the director
on or before the date fixed by law for the taking of the appeal. An appeal to the board of
review shall be deemed to have been taken in time if the notice thereof shall have been
postmarked and properly addressed to the director, on or before such date.
The notice of appeal must be in writing and any such notice, however informal it
may be, identifying the assessment involved in the appeal, stating the valuation
claimed by the taxpayer and the grounds of objection to the assessment shall be
sufficient. Upon the necessary information being furnished by the taxpayer to the
director, the director shall prepare the notice of appeal upon request of the taxpayer or
County and any notice so prepared by the director shall be deemed sufficient as to its
form.
The appeal shall be considered and treated for all purposes as a general appeal and
shall bring up for determination all questions of fact and all questions of law, excepting
questions involving the Constitution or laws of the United States, necessary for the
determination of the objections raised by the taxpayer in the notice of appeal. Any
objection involving the Constitution or laws of the United States may be included by the
taxpayer in the notice of appeal and in such case the objections may be heard and
determined by the tax appeal court on appeal from a decision of the board of review; but
this provision shall not be construed to confer upon the board of review the power to
hear or determine such objections. Any notice of appeal may be amended at any time
prior to the board’s decision; provided the amendment does not substantially change the
dispute or lower the valuation claimed.

The tax paid upon the amount of any assessment, actually in dispute and in excess
of that admitted by the taxpayer, and covered by an appeal to the tax appeal court duly
taken, shall be paid by the director into the “litigated claims account.” If the final
determination is in whole or in part in favor of the appealing taxpayer, the director
shall repay to the taxpayer out of the account, or if investment of the account should
result in a deficit therein, out of the general fund of the County, the amount of the tax
paid upon the amount held by the court to have been excessive or nontaxable, together
with interest at a rate to be determined by the director based upon the average interest
rate earned on County investments during the previous fiscal year. Interest shall be
calculated from the date of each payment into the litigated claims account. The balance,
if any, of the payment made by the appealing taxpayer, or the whole of the payment, in
case the decision is wholly in favor of the director, shall, upon the final determination
become a realization of the general fund.
In a case of an appeal to a board of review, the tax paid upon the amount of the
assessment actually in dispute and in excess of that admitted by the taxpayer, shall
during the pendency of the appeal and until and unless an appeal is taken to the tax
appeal court, be held by the director in the general fund of the County. In the event of
final determination of the appeal in the board of review, the director shall repay to the
appealing taxpayer out of the general fund the amount of the tax paid upon the amount
held by the board to have been excessive or nontaxable, together with interest at a rate

investments during the previous fiscal year. Interest shall be calculated from the date of
