Hilo is the Big Island's largest town, with an agriculture, education, and volcano-tourism economy far removed from Oahu's density. Hawaii County's low property tax rate and lower home prices make it one of the state's more accessible markets.

Hilo housing market
The 0.32% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Hilo and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Hawaii average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Hilo buyers. Many Hilo properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $150/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
