calihockey33 TUG Member Posts: 1890 From: So California, USA Registered: Sep 2003	posted 03-23-2005 11:05 Has anyone seen this article? What is the current tax rate? I can't see spending $50K for a Marriott Maui and paying $800 in property tax per year. [quote]MAUI: Mayor Alan Arakawa says Maui County's property tax revenue for the fiscal year 2006 budget is projected at $156.6 million, a 19 percent increase from this year’s estimated take of $131.4 million. Much of that increase is generated by an estimated 23 percent growth in total property values for the county, from $22.7 billion this year to a projected $28 billion in fiscal 2006. But some extra revenue will also come from the county’s new timeshare property tax category. Arakawa’s proposal would set the timeshare tax rate at $16 per $1,000 of property value, making it the county’s highest tax rate.[quote] ------------------ Grand Pacific Resorts Owners Group Private Group for Grand Pacific Resorts Owners IP: Logged

Dave M Administrator TUG Member Posts: 6257 From: Boston, MA Registered: Dec 2000	posted 03-23-2005 11:51 That's Dave's point. The proposed new tax on timeshares would apparently mean a huge increase in the tax from what you are now paying, not just a 19% increase, which is the overall proposed increase. IP: Logged

It will affect all of us who own on Maui not just the Marriott owners. Unfortunately, it is always easy to increase taxes on those who can't vote. A tax increase, if approved, should be the same percentage for all real property. Mahalo, Sterling owner Maui Schooner IP: Logged

Sterling It depends on the value of your timeshare.. In California, they base the value on what you paid for it. I'm not sure how Hawaii determines value. ------------------ Grand Pacific Resorts Owners Group Private Group for Grand Pacific Resorts Owners IP: Logged

Why don't all the Maui timeshare owners on TUG start a petition stating their opposition to this. You could send it to the mayor and copy all the local news stations. I am considering a timeshare purchase in Maui, but this would seriously impact my decision to purchase. I would think the timeshare industry would go nuts over this. Do you know how much harder it is going to be to sell these with that type of property tax attached. This is outrageous, in my opinion. IP: Logged
dlupton Non Member Posts: 1 From: Registered: Mar 2005	posted 03-24-2005 20:32 The current property tax is $8.30 per thousand and the Maui Mayor's budget proposes an increase to $16.00 per thousand. ARDA is attempting to fight these increases, however if timeshare owners themselve do not enter the fray, the politicians will prevail. If one county is successful with this issue, why wouldn't every other taxing entity follow suit. They will. Timeshare owners are real property owners who don't vote in the locale of the property. They are considered an easy tax target. Every owner of a timeshare in Maui County should be faxing or emailing all Maui County politicians expressing their discontent with this type of taxation.

It also proposes a new tax credit for property owners who offer affordable rentals; proposes property tax relief for active members of the armed service; and also creates a new Time Share property tax category with a rate of $16 per $1,000 assessed value. ------------------ Grand Pacific Resorts Owners Group Private Group for Grand Pacific Resorts Owners IP: Logged
