*NEW* Permitting for Nonconforming Structures

Updates to Maui County Code under Ordinance 5780 now allow for the reconstruction of nonconforming structures — those legally constructed before the 2023 wildfires, but no longer compliant with current development standards (such as setbacks and building height requirements) — as long as specific conditions are met.

Effective March 24, 2025, Ordinance 5780 gives eligible property owners until April 1, 2029, to obtain a building permit, complete the reconstruction and secure final inspection approval for their nonconforming structures. This law applies to structures that were legally nonconforming before the disaster and are located within the area covered by the Governor’s or Mayor’s emergency proclamation.

A two-year extension may be granted for properties located in a historic district or Special Management Area, provided good cause is demonstrated.

To qualify for rebuilding under this ordinance, property owners must meet the following requirements:

• Provide evidence that the structure was legally nonconforming and existed before the wildfires. Approved building permits, real property tax assessor records prior to the requirement of building permits, approved variances and similar documentation, all of which will be reviewed, may be submitted as evidence.
• Ensure the repair or reconstruction does not increase the structure’s nonconformity.
• Complete all work in compliance with applicable building and safety codes (Title 16).
• Meet all deadlines, including final inspection approval by April 1, 2029.
• Comply with Shoreline Rules, if applicable.
