Validity of assessments

Read the official text at library.municode.com ↗

This section makes property assessments final once the ordinance passes, unless you objected earlier. It also says small mistakes in the process won't cancel an assessment, and if you choose to pay in installments, you give up your right to challenge the improvement or assessment.

A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Maui County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.

After enactment of the ordinance levying assessments, the amounts of the several assessments, respectively, not previously objected to, shall be conclusively presumed to be just and equitable and not in excess of the benefits accruing or to accrue to the property assessed by reason of the improvement. No delay, mistake, error, defect, or irregularity in any act or proceeding authorized by this article shall prejudice or invalidate any assessment; but the same may be remedied by subsequent or amended acts or proceedings and, when so remedied, the same shall take effect as of the date of the original act or proceeding. All persons electing to pay assessments in installments, as provided in section 14.50.070 , shall be conclusively considered and held to have consented to the improvement, and such election shall be conclusively held and considered as a waiver of any and all right to question all power or jurisdiction of the county to make the improvement, the regularity or the sufficiency of the proceedings, or the validity or correctness of the assessment. (Ord. 801 § 1 (part), 1974: prior code § 25-5.7.1)
