NOTICE OF PUBLICATION AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that the Council of the County of Kaua’i will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, August 18, 2021, at 1:30 p.m., or soon thereafter, at the Council Chambers, 4396 Rice Street, Room 201, Historic County Building, Lihu’e, on the following: Bill No. 2825 A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5A, SECTION 5A-1.20(b), KAUA’I COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY TAXES (Real Property Tax Overpayment) The purpose of this Bill is to amend Chapter 5A, Kaua’i County Code 1987, as amended, by amending Section 5A-1.20(b) to revise the process for refunding real property tax overpayments. Bill No. 2825 deletes reference to a real property tax revolving fund, which is obsolete for this purpose, and articulates the process for addressing real property tax overpayments. Bill No. 2825 further establishes authority for the Director of Finance to roll over an overpayment to the following tax year upon approval from the taxpayer. Bill No. 2826 A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5A, SECTIONS 5A-12.9 AND 5A-12.10, KAUA’I COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY TAXES (Real Property Tax Appeals) The purpose of this Bill is to amend Chapter 5A, Sections 5A-12.9 and 5A-12.10, Kaua’i County Code 1987, as amended, to strengthen the filing requirements to file a real property tax appeal, eliminates the administratively burdensome two-tiered structure of fees, and creates an across-the-board appeal fee of seventy-five dollars ($75). Bill No. 2827 A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 6, SECTION 6-1.3, KAUA’I COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO DISPOSITION OF UNCLAIMED MONIES This Bill proposes to amend Chapter 6, Article 1, Section 6-1.3, Kaua’i County Code 1987, as amended, by reducing the amount of time that the County is required to hold unclaimed funds in the Treasury Trust Fund from five (5) years to one (1) year before the funds escheat to the County. This reduced hold time would be consistent with State law and would not affect unclaimed funds currently on deposit and being held for the existing five (5) year holding period. All interested persons who wish to present their comments may do so at the public hearing. Written testimony prior to the hearing would be appreciated. Written testimony can be submitted to the Office of the County Clerk, Council Services Division by mail, facsimile, or via E-mail to counciltestimony@kauai.gov.
