Land Use Commission

On February 13, 2020, the Commission received County of Hawaii’s Petition for Declaratory Order that “farm dwellings” may not be used as short term vacation rentals pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes (“HRS”) §§ 205-2 and 205-4.5 and Hawai`i Administrative Rules (“HAR”) § 15-15-25.

This Petition is currently under review and is tentatively scheduled to be heard at the LUC’s April 8, 2020 meeting at the University of Hawaii-Hilo’s  Campus Center Meeting Room #301.  The details of the meeting will be posted to the LUC website approximately a week before.
