HRS §46-74
Waiver of exemption for improvement assessments
This section says that if a religious, charitable, educational, or similar nonprofit group files or joins a petition for an improvement district, it automatically gives up its property tax exemption for those improvements. The land will then be assessed for the improvements, and the county or state won't pay the group's share.
