HCC §35-17
How to set up a special service area within a business district
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗The county council can pick a smaller part of a business improvement district to pay for extra services or improvements. This choice is made in the law that creates the district or in an update to it. Once chosen, only that smaller area pays for those extras, unless the law says otherwise.
