Hawaii property taxes

Varies

Are Property Taxes Deductible in Hawaii?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Hawaii adds its own break: Low-income renters credit: $50 per qualified exemption ($100 if 65+) with AGI under $30,000 and over $1,000 rent paid.

Homestead: county-set home exemptions for owner-occupants, with larger amounts for seniors; apply with your county. Hawaii has no state property tax; each of its four counties sets its own rates and home exemption amounts.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
