Honolulu Enhanced Senior Home Exemption is available to homeowners in Honolulu, HI.
In Honolulu, homeowners who qualify for the basic home exemption receive an automatically increasing exemption as they age. Homeowners must be at least 65 years old on or before June 30 of the preceding tax year. The exemption amount increases in brackets (65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80+) without requiring a new application once the initial home exemption is established.
Exact amounts for each age bracket are set by the City Council and increase periodically. The age-based enhancement is applied automatically once the base home exemption is on file.
