HCC §12-33
When to pay assessments and choosing installment payments
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗This section says all assessments must be paid within 30 days after the ordinance is last published. If you do not pay in full by then, you are automatically considered to have chosen to pay in installments with interest. Choosing installments means you give up your right to challenge the improvement or the assessment.
