Liliuokalani’s trust receiving $90,000 property tax refund
HILO » Hawaii County is refunding nearly $90,000 in overpaid property taxes to the trust established by Hawaii’s last ruling monarch.
West Hawaii Today reported Thursday the county made an error on the Queen Liliuokalani Trust’s tax bill.
The newspaper previously reported the trust was to pay just $25 in taxes this year on a $9.9 million commercial parcel because the county considers it agricultural land following restrictions on the land placed by the County Council in 1993.
The trust is a nonprofit real estate and investment portfolio management firm established in 1909 to care for poor and orphaned children.
