This bill is creeping along.It provides for mandatory road fees in places like Hawaiian Acres.

If this bill passes, it's just one more reason to sue County and force an audit to find out where the money went.

Think that one is going to end up in court

As far as Road Fee's ( tax ) in H.A. - all must be approved via the Land Court in Honolulu . The land Court has already ruled on this 3 times since 1963 and it will take at least 5 years to be shot down once again . Even the county does not pay their dues on the connector lot so they are not members of good standing .
The county for 20 years has not paid their dues - as it is volunteer only. $60.00 Volunteer fee for HARC and $30.00 for HACA per year.

If this passes how much do you think the county will charge for the management of the funds. You people of lower puna must be thrill to have joey as you rep

how much do you think the county will charge for the management of the funds

At least 10% more than the fund balance, so that an increase in the rates is required.

It will take 3-5 years before people figure out they're not getting any road improvements.

We have just found out that the escrow folks charge the buyers of lots and or homes in H.A. a fee or tax of 100.00 $ to HARC and 100.00 to HACA ,when it is actually $60.00 and $30.00 respectfully.
Where is the extra fee's or taxes going ?
Is there any way a lot owner can access the books of both HARC or HACA ?
Mrs.Mimosa

[My 2 cents]

The extra fees at title transfer are for covering the cost to HARC and HACA for changing the information in their files. It's probably illegal due to the structure of these entities, but will likely never be challenged.

There's a section of HRS 414D that covers access to records. You can make the request as described, but if they refuse your only recourse is to sue them. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

We found out that no ballots have been sent out to dues paying members
of H.A.R.C, for the last 5 years.
Self appointed board.
Is this legal?
