FY27 Budget — Council Adopted June 7

Where Are Maui's Tax Dollars Going?

The FY27 budget was adopted 9–0 by the County Council on June 7, 2026 and totals $1.62B in County Funds — $58.0M more than FY26, with the entire increase covered by a 42% surge in bond financing. The Council trimmed ~$8.4M from the Mayor's proposal, redirecting funds to affordable housing and conservation programs. Property tax revenue is essentially flat year-over-year (+$22K on $660M) — despite rate changes that included a rate cut for homes assessed above $4.5M — while sewer, water, and refuse fees are all rising.
