Real property tax sale set for Tuesday, May 20, in Kīhei

The County of Maui Department of Finance will be holding a real property tax sale on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, and will continue the sale on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, if necessary. The sale will auction off properties that have been delinquent for three or more years and have received their final notice of tax sale.

The tax sale will be held at the Kīhei Community Center, 303 E. Lipoa Street, Kīhei. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m.; auction begins at 9:30 a.m.  Each parcel will be offered at the upset price (which represents the delinquent real property taxes, penalty, interest and costs associated with the tax sale) and sold to the highest bidder with a certified or cashier’s check.  Individuals bidding at the auction must register and verify funds at the tax sale, prior to the start of the auction.  Representatives or agents of others will be required to provide notarized documents showing authorization to bid on behalf of the parties they represent.

As of May 9, there are five properties scheduled to be sold at the tax sale. Properties may still be removed from the tax sale list if all taxes, penalties, interest and costs have been paid in full prior to auctioning the parcel.
