The 0.28% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Kailua 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 Kailua buyers. Many Kailua properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $400/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
