How does redemption and return work in Hawaii?

12%/yr Redemption period: 1 year from sale (or 1 year from deed recording if deed recorded more than 60 days after sale). Counties rarely hold sales, but statutory redemption is 1 year at 12%; record the deed within 60 days to keep the clock from restarting.
