Hawaii Governor Josh Green signs law enabling counties to regulate and phase out unpermitted short-term vacation rentals amid housing crisis and wildfires.
Hawaii Governor Josh Green signed a bill into law granting counties more control over short-term vacation rentals amid the state's housing crisis and following the Maui wildfires in August 2023. The bill aims to regulate and phase out thousands of unpermitted transient vacation rentals, with a focus on prioritizing housing opportunities for residents over off-island investor interests. The move follows the passing of Senate Bill 2919, which allows individual counties to define zoning ordinances and potentially phase out short-term vacation rentals in residential or agricultural zones.
