The County needs additional revenue streams to increase its capacity to finance public programs and maintain County assets. Additional financial resources will facilitate the County’s efforts to provide levels of service and maintenance beyond the basic levels funded by the County’s operating and capital budgets. As a result, the Council finds that it is in the best interest of the County to create and enhance relationships with the private sector, including individuals, corporations and other organizations, to generate additional financial resources through commercial sponsorships of County programs, real property, facilities, equipment, or other assets. SUPP. 18 (7-2025) 2-101 § 2-237 H AWAI‘I C OUNTY C ODE In appreciation of such support, it is the policy of the County to provide sponsors with suitable acknowledgment of their contribution. Such recognition, which will be defined in sponsorship agreements, should be consistent with the purpose and aesthetic character of County programs and assets. Appropriate recognition should neither detract from the public’s experience or expectation, nor impair the visual qualities of a County asset, in the opinion of the County. The public recognition of commercial sponsorship envisioned in this arrangement is not intended to create a public forum for communication and debate. The purpose of this article is to establish the criteria and parameters for the granting of sponsorship opportunities in relation to County programs and assets. In doing so, it is solely the Council’s intention to establish a means to enhance the delivery of public services and maintenance of County assets. (2018, ord 18-32, sec 2.) 2-237 Section 2-238.

However, no such claim shall be filed if it is identical with one already on file and having continuing effect. The report required by subsection (d) may be accompanied by or combined with a new claim. (d) Any person who has been allowed an exemption under sections 19-71, 19-73 to 19-78, 19-89.2 or 19-89.5 has a duty to report to the assessor within thirty days after that person ceases to qualify for such an exemption for one of, but not limited to, the following reasons: (1) That person ceases to be the owner, lessee, or purchaser of the exempt premises; (2) A change in the facts previously reported has occurred concerning the occupation, use, or renting of the premises, buildings or other improvements thereon; or (3) Some other change in status has occurred which affects the exemption. Such report shall have the effect of voiding the claim for exemption previously filed, as provided in subsection (b)(4).

In the event the property comes into the hands of a fiduciary who is answerable as provided for by this chapter, the fiduciary shall make the report required by this subsection within thirty days after the fiduciary’s assumption of fiduciary duties or within the time otherwise required, whichever is later. Any person who has a duty of making a report as required by this subsection, who within the time required fails to make a report, shall be liable for a civil penalty.

This fine shall attach as a paramount lien against the property for which the claim for exemption is filed. (f) If the assessor is of the view that, for any tax year, the exemption should not be allowed, in whole or in part, the assessor may at any time within two years of January 1 of that year disallow the exemption for that year, in whole or in part, and may add to the assessment list for that year the amount of value involved, in the manner provided for by ordinance for the assessment of omitted property; 19-49 § 19-68 H AWAI‘I C OUNTY C ODE provided, that if an assessment or addition under this subsection is made after April 9 preceding the tax year, the taxes on the amount of value involved in the assessment or addition so made shall be made a lien as provided for by this chapter by recording a certificate setting forth the amount of tax involved, penalties, and interest. (g) In any case of recordation of a certificate for the amount of the civil penalty under subsection (d), or for the amount of tax, penalties, and interest assessed or added under subsection (f), a person shall be deemed to have an interest arising before the recordation of the certificate only if and to the extent that a person acquired the interest in good faith and for a valuable consideration without notice of a violation of the requirements of subsection (d) having occurred.

SUPP. 18 (7-2025) 19-51 § 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.

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.

(d) The approval of the petition of the director shall constitute a forfeiture on the part of the owner of any right to change the use of the owner’s property for a minimum period of ten years. The owner of a dedicated property must renew the dedication on or before September 1 of the tenth year of the original dedication or any subsequent renewal period in order to continue the dedication for the next ten years.
