+ Y R ILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5A,
SECTION 5A-1.20(b), KAUAI COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED,
RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY TAXES (Real Property Tax Overpayment)
The purpose of this Bill is to amend Chapter 5A, Kaua`i County Code 1987, as
amended, by amending Section 5A-1.20(b) to revise the process for refunding real
property tax overpayments. Bill No. 2825 deletes reference to a real property tax
revolving fund, which is obsolete for this purpose, and articulates the process for
addressing real property tax overpayments. Bill No. 2825 further establishes
authority for the Director of Finance to roll over an overpayment to the following
tax year upon approval from the taxpayer.

SECTIONS 5A-12.9 AND 5A-12.10, KAUAI COUNTY CODE 1987, AS
AMENDED, RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY TAXES (Real Property Tax
Appeals)
The purpose of this Bill is to amend Chapter 5A, Sections 5A-12.9 and
5A-12.10, Kaua`i County Code 1987, as amended, to strengthen the filing
requirements to file a real property tax appeal, eliminates the administratively
burdensome two-tiered structure of fees, and creates an across-the-board appeal fee
of seventy-five dollars ($75).
Bill No. 2827
A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 6, SECTION 6-1.3,
KAUAI COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO
DISPOSITION OF UNCLAIMED MONIES
This Bill proposes to amend Chapter 6, Article 1, Section 6-1.3, Kaua`i
County Code 1987, as amended, by reducing the amount of time that the County is
required to hold unclaimed funds in the Treasury Trust Fund from five (5) years to
one (1) year before the funds escheat to the County. This reduced hold time would
be consistent with State law and would not affect unclaimed funds currently on
deposit and being held for the existing five (5) year holding period.
All interested persons who wish to present their comments may do so at the
public hearing. Written testimony prior to the hearing would be appreciated.
Written testimony can be submitted to the Office of the County Clerk, Council
Services Division by mail, facsimile, or via E-mail to counciltestimony@kauai.gov.

subsequent meetings. Meeting notices are posted at least six (6) days in advance at
the County Clerk's Office and the public may also testify at any of these meetings.)
