Bill 9 & Minatoya Property Guide
Bill 9 is now law. This page explains which Maui short-term rental properties are most affected, which Minatoya properties may seek H-3/H-4 zoning through Bill 88, and which properties appear most exposed under the current phase-out schedule.
For the active Bill 88 / H-3 / H-4 zoning process, see the separate zoning tracker page.
Current Status

Bill 9 was approved by the Maui County Council and signed into law on December 15, 2025. The ordinance phases out transient vacation rental use in A-1 and A-2 apartment-zoned districts, including many properties commonly referred to as Minatoya List properties.

The key issue now is not whether Bill 9 passed. It did. The key issue is whether Bill 88, the proposed H-3/H-4 hotel zoning ordinance, will pass and later give certain Minatoya properties a pathway to seek hotel zoning.

  • West Maui phase-out: Generally January 1, 2029
  • All other areas phase-out: Generally January 1, 2031
How to Read This Guide

This page separates Maui short-term rental properties into practical categories so owners can better understand where a property may fall under Bill 9 and the proposed Bill 88 zoning pathway.

  • Already hotel-zoned properties: These are generally outside the Bill 9 Minatoya phase-out issue because they are not relying on apartment-zoned Minatoya status.
  • Minatoya properties recommended for H-3/H-4: These are the properties identified by the TIG as possible candidates for new hotel zoning if Bill 88 passes.
  • Minatoya properties not recommended for H-3/H-4: These appear more exposed under Bill 9 because they were not included in the TIG recommendation list.

Important: This page is informational only. Owners should verify any specific property with Maui County Planning, official zoning records, the AOAO, or qualified legal counsel.

Already Hotel-Zoned Properties

Properties that are already properly hotel-zoned are generally in the safer category because they are not relying on the Minatoya List exemption for short-term rental use in apartment zoning.

This page focuses on Minatoya List properties because those are the properties directly at issue under Bill 9 and Bill 88. A complete list of already hotel-zoned Maui condominium properties should be verified against Maui County zoning records before publishing because zoning can be parcel-specific.

Recommended wording for owners: If your property is already in a hotel zoning district, Bill 9 may not affect short-term rental use in the same way it affects apartment-zoned Minatoya properties. However, owners should still verify the zoning and permitted use for their specific unit or parcel.

Molokai note
Ke Nani Kai and Wavecrest are on the Minatoya List but were not recommended for phase-out by the TIG, even if Bill 9 passes. They are therefore not included in the at-risk group here.

When Would Properties Lose Short-Term Rental Rights?

For Minatoya properties subject to Bill 9, the general phase-out schedule is based on location:

  • West Maui: Generally January 1, 2029
  • South Maui, Maalaea, Wailea, East Maui, and other areas: Generally January 1, 2031

If Bill 88 passes, it would not automatically remove these deadlines for a specific property. A property would still need to complete a separate rezoning process into the applicable H-3 or H-4 district.
