Maui County, HI Short-Term Rentals: Repeat Violator Strikes (2026)

080(A)(1) lists the grounds on which the director may revoke a short-term rental home permit, and subsection (f) targets repeat neighbor complaints directly: revocation is available if the department has received at least three complaints about noise or other disturbances relating to the short-term rental home's operations within a twelve-month period, and those complaints must come from property owners, lessees of record, or residents on two or more different lots within five hundred feet of the rental. A single neighbor calling in repeatedly does not trigger the rule; the complaints have to originate from at least two separate properties.

070(F)(1)(f), so a chronically complained-about rental can lose its permit either at renewal time or mid-term through revocation. Other revocation grounds in the same subsection include false or misleading information on the application, delinquent state or county taxes, non-responsive management, police reports of disturbances, and noncompliance with permit conditions or other government requirements, so the complaint count is one of several independent triggers rather than the only path to losing a permit. 080(A)(2) bars the department from accepting a new short-term rental home application from that owner for two years from the date of revocation.
