2016-2017 REAL PROPERTY TAX
PAYMENT DEADLINE
Real property tax bills for the second-half installment of taxes due for the 2016-2017 tax year have been mailed to all property owners or their respective agents servicing their accounts. The second-half installment of taxes must be paid on or before TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2017, or they will be delinquent and subject to penalty and interest charges. The County of Hawaii offices will be closed on Monday, February 20, 2017.
If you are responsible for paying the real property taxes and HAVE NOT RECEIVED your real property tax bill, please call the Real Property Tax Division, County of Hawaii, at 961-8282 for a duplicate bill. Persons who have recently paid-off their mortgages should also call to ensure that tax bills are sent to their attention, rather than the bank or financial institution.
You may pay your real property tax bill online at

Administrative costs associated with online payments will be passed on to you in the form of an additional fee by the online vendor. Credit cards are not accepted at our Hilo or Kona Offices.
To pay by mail, return the bottom portion of the tax bill or to pay in person, bring the entire tax bill to:
