The minimum tax is $100 dollars a year. This is not a large sum of money if you own property. They get the same county police, fire, emergency medical, streets, roads, parks and all other services as everyone else without a reduction because they pay less property taxes. If you lost your job and were on unemployment, shouldn't you get a property tax reduction? You own property but don't live on Hawaii; you should be getting a property tax reduction because you use fewer services. Fact is, the minimum is a very small amount and if $100 is too much, maybe property ownership isn't for them.
