ZIP code 96859 sits in Honolulu, where the county-level property tax rate comes to just 0.28 percent — one of the lowest figures you'll find anywhere, reflecting Hawaii's unusually light approach to taxing real estate. Sales tax in this area totals 4.50 percent, also on the lower end nationally. Together these rates shape a place that leans toward working- and middle-income households rather than wealthy enclaves, since the cost of living here is driven far more by housing prices than by taxes. Someone owning property in this ZIP pays comparatively little to the county each year, and everyday purchases carry a smaller surcharge than in most states.
