We own at Bay Club Villas and typically rent out our week every couple of years through VRBO (we use it the other years). VRBO has informed us that they will take down our listing unless we register. I have looked at the registration requirements under Ordinance 18-114 and it seems almost impossible for an owner (even an owner of a deeded week as in our case) to register... Aside from the ridiculous $500 fee, (1) information for ALL owners at the same location must be provided (including home address which I could never get for every owner), and (2) the landowner must separately provide an authorization.
This would appear to effectively ban rentals of timeshare units in Hawaii county.
Has anyone been successfully registered in Hawaii county under this ordinance? If so, how to get around the landowner and other owner information requirements of the form?
If not, is anyone aware of any law firm who has taken in interest in challenging this ordinance? Given that Hawaii allowed (indeed encouraged) the sale of timeshares as deeded property, this ordinance would seem to be subject to a successful challenge from timeshare owners in the area who are now deprived of an important aspect of ownership.
