Maui County, HI Building Setbacks & Zoning: Structure Height Limits (2026)

040 applies flatly across all three single-family districts, R-1, R-2 and R-3, unlike the lot-area and lot-width standards in the same table, which scale up by district. The same dimensional table links height to setback distance: once any part of a building exceeds 15 feet, the side and rear yard setbacks widen from 6 feet to 10 feet, so a taller structure automatically needs to sit farther from the neighboring property line even though the overall 30-foot ceiling doesn't change. 050 address what limited items, like low walls and roof eaves, may project into the setback area, but they don't raise the district's overall height ceiling.

Because the standard sits inside the general residential-district chapter, it applies islandwide wherever R-1, R-2 or R-3 zoning is mapped, from Wailuku and Kahului to Kihei and Makawao, rather than varying block by block.
