I know of two people who have done just that, both in Blacksands. One old guy had somebody warn him about "no permits" so he called the county, who came out and said so, what do you want us to do? They ended up calling his homestead "a shed, 16 x 16" and taxed him thus. The other guy had 2 lots, with an illegal shed with a tent on it, and when prices went nuts in 2005-06 his taxes went nuts. He applied for a permit as a shed, then got it designated as his homestead. Since the value was under the amount of a homestead, his taxes are now 0. BTW # 1 is dead, #2 doesn't even have a
car.

It's too bad you don't have more information on this (or do you?), if there was substantive documentation of these anecdotes, then this information could be of great value to those in Ocean View who may be currently 'under fire'.

Since it is a matter of public record, I can give you the county TMK's #120200200000 Hawaii St. listed as homeowner, taxes are $25 per year, and #120230960000 Iolani St. listed as homeowner, taxes are $0.
