Bill > SR11

This resolution urges the counties in Hawaii to implement a freeze on real property taxes for homeowners who are seventy-five years of age and older and own their primary residence, aiming to provide greater financial security for this population. The resolution acknowledges that many kupuna (elderly residents), who often rely on fixed incomes, face financial challenges due to Hawaii's high cost of living and inflation, making it difficult for them to remain in their homes. The proposed tax freeze would remain in effect until the property is sold, transferred, or the qualifying homeowner is no longer listed as an owner. Certified copies of this resolution are to be sent to the mayors and county council chairpersons of Maui, Hawaii, Kauai, and the City and County of Honolulu.
