County property assesement for taxes

[John S. Rabi]

I have owned numerous properties here during the years and still own four. I gave up long time ago on how to figure out how they assess the properties in Hawaii County. There is no logic behind it at all. Buildings are depreciated over 27 and 1/2 years on the federal level since they are worth less every year, but not in Hawaii! They actually increase in value here according to the tax office. Go figure!
I did appeal my tax assessment once a few years ago. However, before you do it, make sure you know the rules and have strong supporting evidence.
