REMINDER: Deadline to file for new, renewal agricultural dedication petition is July 1

Kauaʻi County Department of Finance Real Property Assessment Office reminds the public that the deadline for filing agricultural dedication petitions is July 1 to be considered for the upcoming 2026 assessment.

Those filing for new or renewal dedications must complete a new petition and comply with current guidelines.

The petition to dedicate agricultural land can be obtained online or at the Real Property Assessment Office, located in Suite A-454 at 4444 Rice Street, in Līhuʻe.
