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.
Pursuant to chapter 132, Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes, the County fire chief is authorized
to make such expenditures as may be necessary to render buildings or premises safe
from fire where the owner or occupant neglects or refuses to do so. The expenses incurred
by such action of the fire chief shall be recoverable against the owner or occupant.
In order to enable the fire chief to provide fire protection to the people and property
of this County, and to carry out and fulfill the purposes of state law, the establishment
of a revolving fund is necessary to ensure that a ready source of revenue is available
to meet the operational expenses for fire hazard removal on an ongoing basis.
