Learn moreHawaii County's genuinely low property tax rate
Hawaii County's FY2026-27 owner-occupied rate is $5.75 per $1,000 of assessed value, with an age-tiered home exemption -- the SAME countywide structure that applies in Hilo and Waimea/Kamuela (base record).
Hawaii's real 2026 income tax rate
Hawaii's individual income tax carries a real, current top marginal rate of 11% (2026), applying statewide including Holualoa (base record).
A real, disclosed insurance consideration
Holualoa's confirmed Lava Flow Hazard Zone 2 designation combined with its genuinely elevated home values means insurance costs here likely run meaningfully above Hawaii's cheaper statewide averages (base record).
Standard policies exclude hurricane, flood/earthquake, and lava coverage
Consistent with Hawaii's statewide pattern, standard homeowners policies typically exclude wind/hurricane and flood/earthquake damage, and lava-flow damage is typically not covered in higher-hazard zones (base record).
