Maui Real Property Tax bills for first half of year due August 23

The County of Maui Real Property Tax Division issued a reminder to property owners today that real property taxes are due Monday, August 23, 2010 for the first installment of fiscal year 2010-2011. The deadline set by the Maui County Code is August 20; however, that day falls on the observed holiday for Statehood Day.

Real Property tax bills from the County of Maui have been mailed to property owners or the agents servicing their accounts.  Property owners who pay their real property taxes directly and who have not received a real property tax bill should contact the County of Maui Real Property Tax Division by phone at (808) 270-7697; in-person at the Maui Mall Service Center; or online at www.mauipropertytax.com.

Property owners are reminded that failure to pay their taxes on time due to non-receipt of a tax bill will not excuse them from being assessed a 10 percent penalty plus interest at the rate of 12 percent per year.  Unless hand-delivered on time, the U.S. Postal Service cancellation mark is the date of receipt by the County of Maui.
