Honolulu Totally Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption
City & County of Honolulu Real Property Assessment Division
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Honolulu Totally Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption in its Honolulu, HI research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Totally disabled veterans with service-connected disabilities that resulted from active duty with the U.S. Armed Forces receive a full property tax exemption on their Honolulu primary residence, except for the minimum tax. Veterans must file claim Form E-8-10.5 with the Real Property Assessment Division and provide current VA documentation confirming total disability status.
For a median Oahu home assessed at $800,000, full tax exemption saves approximately $2,800/year (at ~$3.50/1,000 rate). Only minimum tax (~$300/year) may still apply.
