Challenging to Investors
Kealakekua Regulations
STRs are allowed only in specific zones (hotel/resort/commercial), prohibiting most single‑family/agricultural areas and limiting viable stock; permitting is moderate ($500 unhosted initial plus $250 renewal, $1,000 platform fee) and the combined TAT/GET/HCTAT tax burden (~17.75%) raises costs; enforcement is clear and consistent, but the zone limits and costs create a challenging entry for investors.
