March 15 is the day that tax assessments are sent out to property owners on Maui. It is a difficult job to keep up with property values in Maui’s extremely dynamic real estate market. Historically, many properties on Maui have been under-assessed. However, we have noticed a trend over the past several years where some properties have been over-assessed. When you receive your assessed valuation, please take the time to review the value that Maui County has assigned to your property. If the County substantially over-values your property, it may be worth your while to appeal the assessed value. The appeal process is not the most user-friendly, and you need to act quickly, the deadline to place an appeal is April 9. However, we are aware of success stories.
