Building Permits in Maui
Building permits in Maui are an important part of any construction project. Maui County requires building permits for any residential or commercial construction project. This includes construction, alteration, moving, demolition, repair, and use of any building or structure within Maui County. Permits ensure that the work is done safely and complies with all local building, zoning, and construction codes and that the finished structure is safe for occupancy.
Anything that changes or impacts the structural integrity of the structure will require building permits. Aesthetic changes that don’t affect the structural integrity do not need any permits.
Maui’s permit procedure is well-known to be a long-term process. We understand the permit process and how long it can take to get one. Pro Draft offers our unique knowledge and experience to not only help you submit the forms but also to ensure that everything is done and submitted correctly.
In 2022, Maui went paperless and instituted a new online system for submitting applications and documentation for building permits. Called MAPPS, it automates much of the process and eliminates paper applications and supporting documents. Following the Lahaina fires in 2022, more effort has been made to further accelerate the permit process to allow the Upcountry area to begin rebuilding sooner.
