Paper applications to end as county launches automated permit system
The Maui News
Maui County will no longer take paper permit applications after March 28 as it prepares to launch a new automated planning and permit processing system on April 18.
The new system will replace the county’s existing KivaNet system and will allow residents to:
• Submit applications for plans, permits and specific business licenses.
• Access service requests through COMConnect.
• Search public planning and permitting records.
• Explore any ongoing neighborhood activity with the system’s map feature.
The system will support interactions among county planning and permitting agencies and partners, the county said in a news release Tuesday. It will also transmit data and documentation and facilitate plan reviews.
The transition will require a number of steps, including:
• Beginning 4 p.m. March 28, paper applications will no longer be accepted.
• From March 29 to April 8, there will be some limitations of services due to the systems transition. County departments may be available for consultations and clarifications on existing applications.
• As of 4 p.m. March 31, KivaNet will become “read only.”
• From April 11-14, select county planning and permitting offices will be closed to the public.
• On April 18, Maui’s Automated Planning and Permitting System, or MAPPS, will launch and KivaNet will no longer be available.
