City & County of Honolulu Real Property Assessment Division
Honolulu Totally Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption is available to homeowners in Honolulu, HI.
Totally disabled veterans with service-connected disabilities that resulted from active duty with the U.S. Armed Forces receive a full property tax exemption on their Honolulu primary residence, except for the minimum tax. Veterans must file claim Form E-8-10.5 with the Real Property Assessment Division and provide current VA documentation confirming total disability status.
For a median Oahu home assessed at $800,000, full tax exemption saves approximately $2,800/year (at ~$3.50/1,000 rate). Only minimum tax (~$300/year) may still apply.
