Oahu Historic Homes Get Big Tax Breaks if Public Dedication Requirements are Met

Owners of historic homes in Honolulu and other areas of Oahu are fortunate, not only to own a piece of history, but to be eligible for a real property tax break, as well. The law in City & County of Honolulu (Oahu) currently allows owners of historic homes who apply for a Public Dedicaton Exemption to pay a flat $300 per year in property tax, often saving the homeowners thousands of dollars a year. The law that allowed reduction of the real property tax on these Honolulu historic homes was enacted in the 1980’s, under Mayor Frank Fasi, in an effort to enable owners of Oahu historic homes to have sufficient extra funds to help preserve and maintain the historic homes in the public interest. The public interest of this law is the ability of the public to view and appreciate such homes, memorializing history by providing a record of time, place and use, and to preserve the character and good repair of neighborhoods, protecting property values.
