Lanai

Posted on by

With so many new developments in the works, it’s no wonder people are getting excited about Lanai.  Billionaire Larry Ellison’s plans for Pulama Lanai could almost double the island population in the next two decades.  Along with the approximate 100 room resort,  new plans would extend residential area, include a possible new airport runway, new roads, and plenty of parks to enjoy.

Lanai offers a variety of activities as well as places of historical value.  Hiking up Koloiki Trail offers a breathtaking view of Molokai.  This hike is roughly 5 miles long so be sure to bring plenty of water as well as snacks.  Weather most likely will be cooler, a light jacket or sweatshirt may be necessary.

For Homeowners on Maui and Hawaii counties, the deadline to file for home exemption is December 31.  If you miss the deadline you will have to wait until the next fiscal year to file.  More information and forms can be found on County websites.  For Maui, Real Property Tax Division and for Hawaii, Real Property Tax Division.

With the year-end scramble upon us right after the holiday season, it’s no surprise that many people feel stressed and unorganized.  The start of a new year is a great time to get organized, tidy up paperwork, and start preparation for tax season.  Need help getting started? Trulia has a great checklist for the 12 Things You Must Do Before The Years Over.  Great ideas for both homeowners, renters, and just those looking for organizational tips.
