Maui County Parking — MCC Title 10 Procedural Defenses
Maui County (including Maui, Lanai, Molokai) has its own parking enforcement under Maui County Code Title 10. Common procedural defects: signage not posted per MCC 10.04, citations missing required elements, or enforcement on private resort property without proper authority. Maui's heavy resort/tourism economy means many citations are issued on/near private resort lots where county jurisdiction is questionable.
Legal basis
Maui County Code Title 10; HRS §291C; HRS §46 (county powers)
