Is it that the taxes are low or the assessed valuations low? Yes, I have noticed taxes in Puna are way to low to support a typical urban infrastricture. The taxes on my land are higher than some million dollar homes north of Hilo. This is totally unimproved land, just forest zoned ag20. My taxes are eight times higher than comparable land a mile down the road.
