Important Rental Notice
Maui County Bill 9 was approved in December 2025. In the West Maui community plan area, transient vacation rental uses in apartment districts may continue through Dec. 31, 2028 and must cease Jan. 1, 2029 unless otherwise exempt or permitted by law. Validly existing time-share units are exempt. Verify the parcel, zoning history, AOAO rules, and county records before relying on transient-rental use. Any public Minatoya-style list is informational only and does not by itself establish a legal right to operate a transient vacation rental.
