HCC §33-22

How tax increment bonds are signed, recorded, and paid

Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗

This section explains how tax increment bonds are signed, recorded, and paid. The finance director or a deputy signs them, and the mayor's signature and county seal appear as copies. The county only pays these bonds from the district's tax increment fund or a reserve fund, not from other county money.

(a) Tax increment bonds shall be executed by the director of finance, or by a deputy of the director of finance duly designated by the director to execute such bonds, and issued pursuant to and under the authority and requirements of the ordinance of the council. The bonds shall bear the lithographed or engraved facsimile signature of the mayor and shall be impressed with a lithographed or engraved facsimile of the seal of the County. If the council provides that no such tax increment bond shall be valid or obligatory unless and until there shall be manually executed a certificate of authentication thereof, all signatures of County officials on the bonds may be facsimiles of their respective signatures. (b) The director of finance shall preserve a record of the bonds in a suitable book kept for that purpose. The council shall provide for books of registry to be kept for the registration of improvement bonds issued in fully registered form. (c) The bonds shall be payable only out of moneys in the tax increment fund of the district for which they are issued or from the reserve fund established pursuant to section 33-23, if the moneys in the tax increment fund are insufficient to pay the bonds or the interest thereon as they become due. The County shall not otherwise guarantee payment of any such bonds issued under the provisions of this chapter. (1994, ord 94-76, sec 3.)33-22 TAX INCREMENT DISTRICTS § 33-23
