Bill > HR124

This Resolution urges Hawaii's counties to adjust real property tax rates to address the issues caused by "monster homes," which are defined as very large, multi-level residential structures designed to house multiple families or individuals, often built to the maximum limits of lot size and height, and sometimes in violation of zoning laws. The resolution highlights concerns such as increased noise, traffic, strain on infrastructure, and the erosion of neighborhood character associated with these homes. To mitigate these impacts, the counties are encouraged to increase real property taxes specifically on monster homes and, conversely, to reduce and cap the real property taxes on homes located near these large structures.
