From the County of Maui's recovery dashboard, read Nov. 5, 2026. The dashboard covers Lahaina and Kula together and says its residential figures are compiled from the county's permit system (MAPPS). The dashboard prints the same three figures twice: once as single-family and multifamily units, once as residential and non-residential building permits (non-residential including commercial properties, properties with four or more dwelling units, and all Puamana permits). The Ledger keeps each update; 2 on file so far.
