[Carey]

Linda, the resident home owner property tax is just over 1/2 the rate on non-resident:

Tax Rate Per $1,000 Net
Taxable Building / Taxable Land
PROPERTY CLASS

1 Improved Residential $9.10 / $9.10
2 Apartment $9.85 / $9.85
3 Commercial $9.85 / $9.85
4 Industrial $9.85 / $9.85
5 Agriculture $9.85 / $9.85
6 Conservation $9.85 / $9.85
7 Hotel/Resort $9.85 / $9.85
8 Unimproved Residential $9.85 / $9.85
9 Homeowner $5.55 / $5.55

There is also a homeowners property tax exemption for your primary residence that takes $$ (basis takes $40k) off of the assessed valuation. The homeowners exemption also is stages, to give a larger break to elderly & disabled. Check out the county tax web at: http://www.hawaiipropertytax.com/
