WHAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT

​

🏠 PROPERTY TAX RELIEF

Learn about a locally developed proposal intended to provide property tax relief for Hawaiʻi County residents.

We'll explain the proposal in simple terms, answer questions, and discuss how residents can participate.

​

⚖️ EMERGENCY POWERS & PROPERTY RIGHTS

How much power should government have during an emergency—and how long should those powers continue?

​

We'll look at emergency proclamations, laws that have been suspended, new biosecurity authority that, beginning in 2028, will allow the governor during a declared biosecurity emergency to requisition and TAKE CONTROL of real property (your property) under specified conditions, and the protections provided to property owners.

​

We'll also look at a new Hawaiʻi law that allows counties, under certain circumstances, to require registration, inspection, or notification of rainwater catchment systems.

​

We'll discuss these issues as we develop a new Citizen Memorandum and ask: What protections do Hawaiʻi residents want for their homes, property and rights?

​

🌺 HAWAIʻI COUNTY GENERAL PLAN

The Hawaiʻi County General Plan affects decisions involving land use, housing, development, agriculture, infrastructure, communities and future county policy.

​

We'll break down what's happening in language that's easy to understand and discuss ways residents can stay involved.
