Appeal it, with those numbers it is worth appealing unless you did a ton of permitted improvements. If you recently bought the property for something near the 306 number it will be harder to appeal. If you have owned it for a years they aren't supposed to be able to raise you more than 3% a year (this may be only for primary residences) so I would file the appeal papers. Sometimes they contact you with a "counter offer" if they think they can avoid going to the appeals board.
You need to go armed with comparable homes sold from HPP for the 1 year time period they allow you to use: square feet, number of bedrooms and baths, age of building and grade of construction from the tax current tax assessment of properties sold in HPP are what the recognize for comparable sales. This website: http://hawaiianparadisepark.com/ has a place where you can see past sales with the TMKs and other info you need, call the tax office to find out exactly what the window is that they will consider.
Good luck, that seems way out of line from what the HPP market is actually doing.
