Understanding Maui Property Taxes
Whether you're buying your first Maui home, investing in a vacation rental, or already own property on the island, understanding how Maui property taxes work is an important part of owning real estate.
Your annual property tax bill is based on two key factors:
The property's assessed value, which is determined each year by the County of Maui.
The property's tax classification, such as owner-occupied, non-owner occupied, vacation rental, commercial, agricultural, or another designated use. Each classification has its own tax rate.
How Are Maui Property Taxes Calculated?
Maui County calculates property taxes using the following formula:
(Assessed Value ÷ 1,000) × Tax Rate = Annual Property Tax
