Read the official text at library.municode.com ↗

A subdivider can get final approval before finishing construction by signing an agreement with the County and posting a bond. The agreement must set a time limit (no more than one year) to complete all required improvements. Once the agreement and bond are accepted, the final plat is approved and the subdivider can record it and sell lots.

The ordinance, as written (Maui County) — Final approval prior to completion of construction

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.

A subdivider may secure final approval prior to completion of construction by entering into an agreement with the County, signed by the director and, if applicable, the department of water supply wherein the subdivider agrees to make, install and complete all required improvements within a specified time (not to exceed one year) and file with the County a surety bond or other security as specified in this chapter, to assure the County of the actual construction and installation of the improvements shown on the approved construction drawings. The director shall, after the execution and acceptance of the agreement and bond, grant approval of the final plat. The subdivider may then proceed to record the final plat and sell the lots or transfer any interest therein prior to completion of said improvements. (Ord. No. 4053, § 51, 2013; Ord. 789 § 1 (part), 1974: prior code § 11-1.12(b)(part))
