Update, October 2026: This article was first published June 25, 2025. Since then, Bill 9 became law (Ordinance 5909). Vacation rental use in apartment-zoned Minatoya list condos ends January 1, 2029 in West Maui and January 1, 2031 in South Maui and the rest of the county, unless a property is rezoned. Hotel-zoned condos are not affected. For current details see our Maui Bill 9 guide, the Minatoya list by area and hotel-zoned condos.
After months of public debate, the Maui County Council is preparing for a critical vote on Bill 9, scheduled for July 2. This proposed ordinance would phase out thousands of currently legal short-term vacation rentals (STRs) located in apartment-zoned areas throughout South and West Maui, including Kihei, Lahaina, Napili, and Wailea.
