Appeals to the Tax Board of Review

[Devany]

Scott,

I heartily agree with you on this one. It is laughable how low the taxes (and assessments) are here. I agree... run to the tax office and pay asap so they cannot change their minds.

I don't want to compare with the mainland... but we have homes of equal value here and in SF. Our taxes in CA are $40,000. a year. Here we pay $2,000. How is that for absurd??? And CA did reduce our assessment this year and last year because we bought at the height of the market in 2006. It was automatic we did not have to appeal.

You really need to stop comparing Hawaii with the mainland. Things are much different here and they move much slower.
I’ll bet you will spend more money between your flight and lodging then you will recoup from the evil tax assessor, surprise, surprise.
Our taxes are so low that I have my wife run down and pay them the same day we get it.
I don’t want them to think they made a mistake and under charged me.
