How Honolulu sets them

The City Council sets the rates each year by resolution, under Revised Ordinances of Honolulu § 8-11.1(b), for the classes established by § 8-7.1(c)(1). For this fiscal year the council adopted Resolution 26-62 on June 3, 2026 by 9 ayes, as its document system records.

The council's own record: the measure, which the Ledger also lists on its measures page. Documents: Resolution 26-62 as introduced · Proposed CD1.

Resolution 26-62 as introduced prints Residential A Tier 1 at $4.00; the proposed CD1 would have lowered it to $3.50. The assessment division's report for this fiscal year prints $4.00, so that is the rate this page carries. The adopted text of the resolution was not read: the council's document system did not return it under a search, and the measure's own page requires a login.

Copied from Real Property Tax Rates for Tax Year July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 (the division's statewide report, a one-page PDF made July 22, 2026), published by the City and County of Honolulu, Department of Budget and Fiscal Services, Real Property Assessment Division and read Sept. 19, 2026; the division lists its reports by year on this page. Class names, figures and tier thresholds are the division's. A rate is only one part of a bill: exemptions, dedications and credits change what an owner pays, and none of those are on this page. Not verified: The adopted text of Resolution 26-62 (only the introduced version and the proposed CD1 were read); Exemptions, dedications and credits; Assessment dates and appeal deadlines.
