QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HPP PARK

[Patricia]

with few considering the added costs and burdens to the community- none of which the County is willing, or so far, has offered to pay for. 

I pay HPP road fees.
I pay county real estate taxes.
I pay federal taxes.

I don’t think I could break down if I’d pay more, or less if the county paid or didn’t pay for county park road fees. If the county paid road fees don’t you think they’d just raise your taxes to cover their increased expenses? I don’t believe HPP has ever not increased road maintenance by less than the maximum allotted 10%?

You are correct. In some way Hawaiian Paradise Park owners would be contributing to cover the County's road fees. However, others would contribute too. The County collects taxes from more than just Hawaiian Paradise Park Owners. The County also collects money from all Hawaii Island residents and property owners,. In addition, the County receives money from the state, the feds, tourism, grants, and donors.

Hawaiian Paradise Park residents will be stuck with additional costs, regardless. But it will be greatly defrayed if the County coughs up their share of road maintenance fees. And they are obligated to. As per the Hawaii courts.
