Kapolei STR operators must collect and remit the 3% Oahu transient accommodations tax on gross rental proceeds under ROH Sec. 8A-1.1 for stays under 180 days.
The Oahu Transient Accommodations Tax under Chapter 8A, Article 1, stacks on top of state TAT and general excise tax. Kapolei operators renting to visitors, traveling nurses, construction crews, or other short-term guests must register with the City Treasury, collect OTAT at closing, and remit on the city's filing schedule. Short stays booked through Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com may have some taxes collected by platforms, but operators remain responsible for reconciliation and for any portion not platform-collected. Resort-zoned inventory in Ko Olina and commercial lodging in Kapolei proper are both covered when the rental qualifies as transient under HRS Chapter 237D.
Unremitted OTAT accrues penalties and interest and can result in tax liens against the Kapolei property.
