In Maui County, Hawaii, short-term rentals (STRs) are legally permitted but come with strict regulations, particularly regarding the types of properties eligible for rental. Locally referred to as Transient Vacation Rentals (TVRs), these rentals must adhere to specific permits limited by community plan regions, which can significantly restrict availability in popular areas. Only single-family homes are allowed to operate as TVRs, and properties must not be in certain zoning areas to qualify. The market primarily caters to tourists, as Maui is a well-known vacation destination, boosting demand for vacation rentals, particularly in beachside homes and apartments within resort areas. The Maui County Planning Department oversees these regulations and enforcement. The current regulatory environment is evolving, with recent discussions about phasing out approximately 7,000 existing short-term rentals in developments specified as apartment districts to support long-term housing solutions.
