Notice is hereby given that the Kaua`i County Council will hold a public
hearing on Wednesday, September 6, 2023, at 8:30 a.m., or soon thereafter, at the
Council Chambers, 4396 Rice Street, Room 201, Historic County Building, Lihu`e,
on the following:
Bill No. 2903
A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5A, KAUAI
23 Ft 10 MARTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY
TAX (Long-Term Gap Housing Rental)
This Bill proposes to create a new exemption entitled "Exemption for
Property Used for Long-Term Gap Housing Rental" for each unit type up to one
hundred forty percent (140%) of the Kaua`i median household income as defined by
the Kaua`i County Housing Agency Rental Housing Guidelines. Program
participants would be placed in a new "Long-Term Gap Housing Rental" tax rate
classification. This Bill also makes minor changes to Section 5A-11A.1 (Long-Term
Affordable Rental program) for consistency with existing language. This Bill would
take effect upon its approval (allowing codification, creation of forms, and
applications due by September 30, 2024), with changes to impact the Tax Year
beginning July 1, 2025.
Bill No. 2904
A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5A, KAUAI
COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY
TAX (Separated Married Persons)
This Bill proposes to: grant separated married persons each their own full
Home Exemption, make the separation easier to establish with the Department of
Finance, and increase the two-year maximum allowance of this benefit to five (5)
years. This Bill also takes the opportunity to formally modernize the language to
include civil unions (though lack of this language has not impacted civil union
partners because superseding state law would control in this matter).
Any person may testify at the public hearing, and at any Council
and Committee Meeting (at which time any Bill may be amended).
Meeting notices and full-text Bills are available at least six (6) days in
advance at the Office of the County Clerk, Council Services Division and

submitted via counciltestimony@kauai.gov, mail, or fax. For further information,
please call (808) 241-4188.
