ALERT: Beginning Jan 1, 2026 the State of Hawaii Transient Accommodation Tax (TAT) goes to 11% from 10.25%
It’s great to be alive in 2025!
So many rumors surrounding Maui Vacation Rentals. The truth is Maui is open and ready for your business with the spirit of Aloha!
In 2023, the Maui Mayor proposed legislation to close over 7,000 legal vacation rentals in response to the Lahaina fires. Fast forward to today, it appears he'd be happy with converting a few hundred units for the remaining unhoused residents. There is ongoing legislative discussion about government's ability to shut down legal businesses being unconstitutional. Did you know, Hawaii vacation rentals pay the highest property tax, more than hotels? A portion of our taxes fund Affordable Housing. You are welcome to submit testimony to keep us open when the mid-August agenda is posted with the Council of the County of Maui.
Either way, come on over in 2025! or 2026! We'd love to see your smiling faces!
