LIHUE — The Department of Finance Real Property Assessment office is reminding the public that the deadline for filing Agricultural Dedication Petitions is July 1 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The passage of Ordinance No. 1132 repealed the outdated Agricultural Dedication program.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 a resident plans to pursue a new dedication to agricultural use, or are renewing an expiring one, they 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 the Real Property Assessment office, located at 4444 Rice St., Suite A-454, Lihue, HI 96766.
Online submission is now available at https://connect.kauai.gov. On the website, look under the “Forms and Information” link for the “Petition to Dedicate Agricultural Land to Commercial Farming.”
For questions, 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.
