Interest charged on late debts owed to the city
Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗If you owe the city money and no other rule sets an interest rate, the city will add 1% interest each month (or part of a month) on the unpaid amount. Interest starts 30 days after the bill is sent. This applies to any past-due debt, even if a court has not yet ordered payment.
