HCC §19-41
When the county can delay or cancel a property sale
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗This section lets the county director postpone a property sale if it seems best for everyone involved, such as when there are no buyers. The director must announce any postponement publicly at the sale time and place. The sale can also be abandoned if no bid covers the full amount owed.
