Driven by rising land and home values, Hawaii’s property taxes are soaring. Each county has reaped significant revenues from property taxes in the past several years. But with inflation and a housing crisis, is it time for counties to reevaluate how they levy this tax?

Natalie Iwasa, CPA, CFE and community advocate joins host Keli’i Akina, president and CEO of the Grassroot Institute, to answer this question. On today’s episode of Hawaii Together, Akina and Iwasa discuss the history of property taxes in Hawaii, how assessments are conducted and what reforms the counties should consider.
