Hawaii Property Tax Search: In-Depth Knowledge on any Property

Hawaii property tax websites allow you to gain in-depth knowledge for any property on the islands of Maui, Oahu, Kauai and the Big Island. Information available to you includes (but is not limited to):

• Yearly taxes (going back several years)
• Assessed values (including separate assessments for land and buildings)
• Sketches of buildings
• Zoning
• County records (which may differ than what appears in the MLS)
• Owner information

Instructions – How To Do The Property Tax Search

1) Choose a Property
Find the property you are interested in on HawaiiLife.com

2) Locate the Taxkey (TMK)
Scroll to the bottom of the property detail page, below “MLS Data & Specs” and locate the “Taxkey (TMK).” In the example below, the Taxkey = 1430160230000. Copy this number as we will be using it later.

3) Visit the Property Tax Website for the Appropriate Island
In this case, the property is on Oahu, so we’ll visit the Oahu property tax website. Here are links to all the sites by island:

• Oahu (Honolulu) Property Tax
• Maui Property Tax
• Big Island (Hawaii) Property Tax
• Kauai Property Tax

4) Enter the TMK/Parcel ID WITHOUT the first number then click “Search”
Before entering the Taxkey (TMK) where it says “Parcel ID” you will need to remove the first number of the TMK #. Our TMK # = 1430160230000, so we will remove the “1” and enter: 430160230000. Before entering the TMK#, you will need to navigate to the appropriate page. Here’s how you do that:

• For Oahu, Big Island and Kauai click on the “Property Search” tab at the top of the page, then “Parcel ID.”
• Maui is a little different, click “Search Records” at the top of the page, then “Yes, I accept the above statement.” in the middle of the page, and finally “Search by Parcel Number.”

And there you have it. Every bit of County information about the property you’re interested in.
