County no longer waiving fees for online payments after Nov. 30, 2020
County officials would like to inform Wastewater Management Division, Motor Vehicle
Registration and Real Property Tax customers that fees for paying their sewer bill, motor vehicle
registration and Real Property Tax Bill online will no longer be waived after Nov. 30, 2020. The
County has been waiving these fees to promote online payments during the COVID-19 pandemic,
but this will expire next week.
Online payments made after Nov. 30, 2020, will consist of a fee as follows: a $2.50
convenience fee plus a 2.2% credit card or $1 eCheck fee per transaction. These fees are paid to NIC
Hawai‘i for providing the online payment service. A fee is not assessed for walk-in or mailed payments.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the public is highly encouraged to submit
payments via this online service to reduce foot traffic at the Kāpule Building at the Līhu‘e Civic
Center. For customers who prefer not to use the online service, appointments are still required for
in-person payments at the Kapule Building located at 4444 Rice Street, Līhuʻe, Hawaiʻi. To
access the appointment link through the County of Kaua‘i website, visit www.kauai.gov and click
on the “GetInLineOnline” icon. Customers may also pay their bills by dropping off a sealed
envelope containing their check and remittance in the drop box located to the right of the glass
doors at the Kapule building. Please make checks payable to the Director of Finance.
Kūpuna hours are now offered from 8:00 to 8:45 a.m., Monday through Friday. During
these hours, no appointments are necessary for those ages 65 and older. Kūpuna will be seen
on a first-come, first-served basis.
