For many of us, visiting the same vacation spot every year has become a summer tradition that is fun, relaxing, and restful. If this sounds like you, now is the time to consider your plans and determine whether buying a vacation home this year makes more sense than renting one again.

stvr: Hawaii STVR (TAR): "Vacation Node", What Is It? News for Hawaii Vacation Rentals
- 03/22/23 11:57 AM
Hey, forget about picturing yourself lounging on a Hawaiian beach - we're talking "Vacation NODE" here (not MODE). You know, that thing that nobody seems to be able to explain. Well, it's the latest proposal from the Hawaii County Council Members and honestly, it's got me shaking in my slippahs (flip-flops) . I mean, have you ever been to a parade and seen the clowns throwing candy to the kids? That's basically what's happening as this draft gets added to the new TAR bill (which, by the way, is on its 4th draft and hasn't been released yet). They're saying not to … (0 comments)
stvr: Selective Enforcement With Hawaii County TAR Bill On Short Term Rentals
- 03/21/23 12:42 PM
Selective enforcement refers to the practice of enforcing rules or laws selectively, rather than consistently applying them to everyone in a fair and equal manner.

It can also create a sense of … (0 comments)
stvr: An Open Letter To The Hawaii County Council
- 03/20/23 12:53 PM
I wish we did write write this one, but we didn't. With full permission from Joshua Montgomery I am reposting his letter - here: Chairwoman Heather Kimball and Council Member Ashley Kierkiewicz have published the third draft of their proposal to heavily regulate homestays and farmstays here on Hawaii.
These regulations are separate from Bill 108 which passed in 2018 and addressed the issue of absentee owned vacation rentals. Since 2018 absentee owners have been tightly regulated and remain regulated today. Their proposal is targeted at local families and farmers who rent a room or an ohana to visitors. They are targeting Kupuna who rely on visitor … (0 comments)

Updates March 22, 2019 I'm going to go out on a limb here, and guess you've already heard about Bill 108 (Ordinance 18-113). You also know that Rule 23 (draft 2 updated the 20th) is the basis for the rules on Ordinance 18-113, What you probably don't know is that the Planning Department has now "slipped in Rule 2". (here is the notice) AMENDMENT OF RULE 2 OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT RULES OF PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE This will give the Planning Department new powers to make up rules as the director feels needed, and apply them when they wish. With the feedback I received on the public hearings.... Planning Director Micheal Yee made … (1 comments)
