2026 Mayoral Election
Where Are Maui's Tax Dollars Going?
The FY27 budget was adopted 9–0 by the County Council on June 5, 2026 and signed into law by Mayor Bissen on June 19, 2026. It 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.
