Applications for Long-Term Affordable Rental program available online
LĪHU‘E – County officials announced that the owners of long-term affordable rental units
on Kaua‘i can now apply online for a tax relief program at www.kauaipropertytax.com.
Applications can also be picked at the Real Property Assessment Division located at the
Līhu‘e Civic Center, Kapulē Building.
To be eligible for the program, the units must be leased for at least one year at rates that
are equal to or below the 80 percent household median income limits.
The monthly rental limits by unit type are shown below:
Tenant Pays Owner Pays
Unit Type Any Utilities All Utilities
Studio $976 $1,196
1-Bedroom $1,122 $1,365

5-Bedroom $1,760 $2,252
If a tenant pays for any of the utilities (water, sewer, electric, or gas), then the lower
rental rate is applicable.
The long-term affordable tenant-occupied rental application must be submitted with a
copy of the signed lease to the County of Kaua‘i, Real Property Assessment Division, 4444 Rice
Street, Suite A-454, Līhu‘e, HI 96766.
The deadline to file for the 2018 tax year is September 30, 2017, and the rental/lease

The owners of affordable rentals that are leased for multiple years must submit an
affidavit for each subsequent tax year stating that the same tenant and rents are in effect for the
upcoming year in order to continue to receive the tax benefit.
