HCC §23-76
No selling land before final map is approved
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗This section stops anyone from selling, leasing, or renting land in a subdivision before the county director approves the final map for recording. It also bans making options or agreements to do those things early. The rule is about timing, not about other land rules.
