Kahului White Pages Lookup
The Kahului White Pages pulls together the main tools you use to look up a person or an address in central Maui. Kahului sits at the commercial heart of the island. It holds the main airport and the Real Property Assessment Division counter. A White Pages search that starts here may end at the county seat in Wailuku or with the state judiciary. This page points you to the right desk, the right site, and the right phone for each step. Use the search tool below to begin, then scroll for local links.
Kahului White Pages Overview
Kahului Public Records Access
Public record rights for Kahului come from a single state law. The Uniform Information Practices Act, or UIPA, sits in Chapter 92F of the Hawaii Revised Statutes. The law passed in 1988. Every state and county office must follow it. That means the Real Property office on 'Ala'ihi Street, the Maui Police station, and every other local desk are all open to a White Pages request from the public.
Maui County runs a fresh UIPA portal. It went live on January 24, 2024. File a request online and track it through the system. For questions on how a request works, call the Office of Information Practices at (808) 586-1400. The Maui public record request page walks through the steps.
The rules are simple. Ask in writing. Give clear facts on what you want. Most records must come out within ten business days. Fees apply for search time past the first free hour. Paper copies cost $0.25 per page. Staff charge $2.50 per fifteen minutes of search time after hour one. You can ask for a fee waiver when the request serves a real public interest. That waiver path is spelled out in HRS 92F-11.
Note: A Kahului request gets closed as abandoned if you do not answer the agency's notice within twenty business days, so watch your inbox.
Kahului Property White Pages
Most White Pages searches for a Kahului address land at the Real Property Assessment Division. The office is in Kahului itself, at 110 'Ala'ihi Street, Suite 110, 96732. Call (808) 270-7297. The division pulls together owner names, Tax Map Key data, assessed values, building notes, and tax bills for every Maui parcel. Walk-in service works well for a quick lookup. Online tools cover the rest.
Check the Real Property Assessment Division page before you come in. The page explains the TMK system and links out to the free online parcel search.
That landing page points to exemption forms, appeal dates, and the main qPublic search portal used by researchers on Maui.
The qPublic portal for Maui County is the key tool. Search by owner name, street address, TMK, parcel number, or subdivision. Maui uses county code 2. The 9-digit TMK breaks into zone, section, plat, and parcel. The system covers Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Kahoolawe. It even holds records for Kalawao County. Basic searches cost nothing. Detail pages show parcel size, sales history, and assessed value trends.
Tax payments go through the Department of Finance. Visit the Maui Finance page for pay-by-card links, payment plans, and delinquent tax info.
The Finance page explains how the county handles tax billing and links over to the qPublic tool for each parcel.
Home exemption forms, age exemptions, and the Aina Kupuna program all run out of the same office. Email rpa@co.maui.hi.us for general help. The appeal process runs through the Board of Review. Deadlines are firm. Miss one and you wait until the next tax year.
Building Permits in Kahului
Most Kahului building permits flow through the MAPPS Customer Self Service Portal. MAPPS stands for Maui Automated Permit Processing System. Log in to apply for a permit, check status, view past permits, or look up code cases tied to an address. No fee to search. Results show permit type, issue date, expiration, and any open violations.
MAPPS pairs well with a standard Kahului White Pages lookup. An owner name from qPublic plus a permit history from MAPPS gives a solid view of a parcel. The Development Services Administration sits at 2200 Main Street in Wailuku. Call (808) 270-7250 with questions.
Kahului Court Records Lookup
Kahului sits in the Second Judicial Circuit. The Second Circuit covers Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Kalawao. The main courthouse is in Wailuku, just a short drive from Kahului. Court records for a Kahului resident can sit in District Court, Circuit Court, or Family Court. A White Pages court search runs through eCourt Kokua, the state's free online portal.
Start at the Hawaii State Judiciary records search page. Search by name, case number, attorney name, or ticket number. Results list party names, filing dates, hearing dates, and case status. Traffic, small claims up to $5,000, and minor civil matters stay in District Court. Felonies, large civil cases, and probate go up to Circuit Court. Family Court handles divorce, custody, child support, and protection orders.
Some files do not show up. Sealed cases stay hidden. Juvenile matters are closed. For a certified copy of any court paper, call the clerk at the Second Circuit Court in Wailuku. The state judiciary main line is (808) 539-4900 for routing help.
Note: Tax Appeal Court cases tied to a Kahului parcel also show in eCourt Kokua, so pair a property search with a court check when you want the full picture.
Maui Police Records for Kahului
The Maui Police Department serves Kahului. The Records Section is at 55 Mahalani Street in Wailuku, 96793. Phone (808) 244-6355. Hours run Monday through Thursday, 8:00am to 4:00pm. Call ahead to confirm. The Maui Police Department page posts online request forms and station locations.
Incident reports, traffic accident reports, and arrest logs all sit with the Records Section. Parties named in a report can ask for a copy. Insurance reps with signed authorization can get a traffic report too. Bring a valid photo ID. Fees vary by length and type. Most requests turn around in a few business days.
For anything the Records Section does not post, file a formal UIPA request. The county's new UIPA portal routes each request to the right office. Active investigations and some juvenile contacts stay closed under law. The department also runs a Kahului substation. Non-emergency calls go to (808) 244-6400. Emergency calls always use 911.
Vital Records for Kahului Residents
Births, deaths, marriages, and divorces tied to Kahului sit at the state level, not the county. The Hawaii Department of Health Vital Records Section holds birth and marriage records from 1909 on, and divorce records from 1951. The main office is at 1250 Punchbowl Street, Room 103, Honolulu. Phone (808) 586-4533. Mail requests need a photo ID copy.
The first certified copy costs $10. Each extra copy of the same record at the same time costs $4. Records stay closed for 75 years. During that window only the person named, a spouse, a parent, a child, a grandchild, a legal guardian, a legal rep, or someone with a court order can get a copy. For genealogy work past the 75-year mark, the Hawaii State Archives in Honolulu is the next stop.
Maui County Council and Kahului
Kahului falls inside the Kahului residency area of the Maui County Council. The Council has nine members. Each one covers a residency area. A White Pages search tied to a civic matter can use the Council site to find your rep. Agendas, bills, minutes, and meeting videos post free online. Testimony goes through the Office of Council Services at (808) 270-7838 or ocs.request@mauicounty.us.
For UIPA questions tied to Council records, the OCS request email routes each one to the right staff member. Response time is the same ten business day rule. The Kalana O Maui Building at 200 S. High Street holds most county offices, Council rooms included.
Professional License Check
Need to verify a Kahului doctor, nurse, real estate agent, contractor, or attorney? Use the Professional and Vocational Licensing Division, known as PVL. It is part of the state Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. The free online license search covers roughly 52 regulated professions. Results show license number, issue date, expiration, status, and past discipline.
Business entity lookups for Kahului firms run through Hawaii Business Express. Land records for any Maui parcel sit with the Hawaii Bureau of Conveyances in Honolulu, a state office. Maui is the one place where local land records still route to the state. The Bureau phone is (808) 587-0147.
