Information on the tax rates and exemptions are on the County's Property Tax Web site. The rate for improved property is $8.10 per $1000 but the home owner rate is $5.50 / $1000 according to this page: http://www.hawaiipropertytax.com/template.asp?page=2003taxrates.htm&mnu=Home&submnu=CurTaxRate
There is also a basic home exemption of $40,000 which goes up to $80,000 when 60 or older and $100,000 at 70 or older. The exemptions are not automatic and they have to be applied for. They are explained on a brochure here: http://www.hawaiipropertytax.com/pdffile...ochure.pdf
