REMINDER: Agricultural Dedication Petition deadline is July 1, 2025
LĪHUʻE – The Department of Finance Real Property Assessment office would like to remind the public that the deadline for filing Agricultural Dedication Petitions is July 1, 2025, to be considered for the upcoming 2026 Assessment.
The passage of Ordinance No. 1132 repealed the outdated Agricultural Dedication program. The new petition form includes, and is subject to, the current program standards. If you pursue a new DEDICATION to agricultural use, or are renewing an expiring one, you must file a new petition and comply with current guidelines. This program provides a Real Property tax incentive in exchange for a 5-year commitment to commercial farming.
The petition to dedicate agricultural land can be obtained at www.kauaipropertytax.com, or at our Real Property Assessment office, located at 4444 Rice Street, Suite A-454, Līhuʻe, HI 96766. On the website, please look under the “Forms and Information” link for the “Petition to Dedicate Agricultural Land to Commercial Farming.” Online submission is now available at https://connect.kauai.gov.
For questions, please call Ted Zamora at 808-241-4236 or email tzamora@kauai.gov. The Real Property Assessment office is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on holidays.
