Vacation rentals and bed-and-breakfasts

Hawaiʻi County's Bill 147 would set operating standards for transient vacation rentals, make hosted bed-and-breakfasts a permitted use in the single-family residential district and in some agricultural districts, and allow un-hosted short-term vacation rentals throughout the multiple-family residential district and in certain coastal areas next to resort areas. (Hawaiʻi County Council, Policy Committee on Planning, Land Use, and Economic Development, Sept. 15, 2026)

Meanwhile the county's planning commissions hear special permits for individual bed-and-breakfast operations, and each appears below. (Hawaiʻi County's planning commission agendas)

Assembled from the record the Ledger reads, matched by the words, tax map keys and file numbers this tracker follows; each line links the record it came from, in that record's words. The lede above is written by the Ledger from the records it names. What each source is and how often it is read: coverage.
