I just checked online and tax assessments are still showing 2020. Do you know what day they update this? Or do they come out in the mail first and then update on the website later? I believe they are usually received by around this time but I have not received anything in the mail yet.
I don't - off the top of my head I could've sworn they came out in early January

We finished building our house earlier this year, the assessor came out a couple months ago. He told us the assessed value would be on the County web site in mid/late January.
This is in Hawaii County. Not sure if Honolulu County follows same timeline.
"The Real Property Assessment Division annually sends a notice of assessment to property owners (on or before December 15), showing the assessed value of the property, the general land class of the property, and the amount of exemption, if any. After reviewing your notice of assessment, if you do not agree with the assessed value of the property, the classification of the property, or the amount of the exemption allowed, you may file an appeal on or before January 15 preceding the tax year."
Since they are requiring that all appeals must be in by January 15, they should be arriving in the mail any day now.
My "Informed Delivery" just lit up with assessment letters coming my way! It will be interesting to see what the increases are if any! Film at eleven.....am that is.
Well, Michel's isn't the only restaurant offering dine in service, Michel's is owned by a Japanese based company. I kinda think Rick will be cutting some payroll soon. Aren't we all in this together?
There's still an optics thing. Just looking at website it's $130 ($170-210 with wine pairing). Call it $150-200 range. Looks kind of bad to be dining out at a restaurant that's $150-200 a plate while also telling employees they need to take a 20% pay cut. If it's an anniversary or whatever, okay, but if it's just a normal Tuesday dinner and it's occurring all the time, yeah, it's an optics thing. Maybe don't dine out at $150-200 restaurants five nights a week while the budget is so bad that the regular employees need to have their pay cut by 20% regardless of whose money it is. Not saying he has to eat off the McDonald's value menu, but finding a more reasonably price restaurant might be a good idea.

The future Mayor of Honolulu has nothing to do with State furloughs. No city employees have been asked to take a pay cut.

And how is the City of Honolulu's budget? Maybe they're in less dire situation than most local and state governments are. Doubt it though. They're probably in a similar boat and looking at similar drastic measures to balance their budgets.

So far so good actually. The City relies mostly on property tax revenue which is holding up quite nicely. So far.
