ROH §8-2.3
Small mistakes won't cancel your property tax assessment
Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗This section says that minor errors in the tax assessment process won't make your property tax bill invalid. It also says missing a deadline or getting the owner's name wrong won't cancel the assessment, as long as the required public notice was given.
