Challenging to Investors
Lahaina Regulations
Short‑term rentals are allowed—hotel‑zoned condos operate by right and B&B permits are available—but pending Bill 9 would phase out ~7,000 apartment‑zoned units by ~2030, a moratorium blocks new STR condo construction, and B&B/STRH caps, inspections, and fees add complexity, creating high regulatory uncertainty for investors.
