New property tax rates are out now, taking effect July 1, 2020.
Residents and owners of Maui properties will be glad to see that most of the tax rates have gone down from last year. While many rates have gone down, it’s notable that Short Term Rental went up from 10.75 to 11.08. Homeowners with low priced homes will benefit the most from the new low rate of $2.51 per thousand. Investors will be paying significantly higher taxes on their luxury second homes.
This year we’re seeing a new tiered system based on the property value, with increments up to $800,000 and $1,500,000 and over. The 3-tiered rate steps for owner occupants are all still lower than the previous year. Non owner occupant rates end up quite a bit higher than previously.

Some new points:

- TVR’s and B&B’s are called Commercialized Residential
