Latest on Vacation Rentals

[LazyLehua]

So being loyal Punawebber and a vacation rental owner, I have a unique point of view. I have always paid our taxes, we are in a tourist area, not on Ag land, we are registered and our neighbors are all aware we are a vacation rental. Maybe our difference is that we also use our home so we are there a few months out of the year. The new regulations are a bit out of touch from reality and really are meant to try and shut everyone down. There is a lot of paper and $$ involved to become “legal” under these new terms. I don’t think the State realizes how much revenue they will loose...as word on the street is that those who cannot get the permit will continue to operate under the radar as they always have and still will not pay taxes or the fines the County may try and tax on them.
