Questions

Who is the largest landowner in Hawaii?

On county property records, STATE OF HAWAII holds the most land in Hawaii: 141,981 acres across 3,660 parcels in 3 counties.

How much land do the largest landowners in Hawaii hold?

The 50 institutions on this list hold 331,598 acres between them. 6 of them are public bodies, such as the state, cities and agencies.

Why are no individuals on this list?

Deedlines ranks companies, trusts held by companies and government agencies only. A public ranking of private people by the land they own would be a list of where they live, so individuals are never ranked.

Where do these numbers come from?

From the assessor files of 5 Hawaii counties, the same records behind each county's tax roll. Acreage is what the assessor records; a survey can differ, and a company filed under two spellings counts as two names.
