Hawaii's Building Permit Landscape

Last reviewed: April 2026

In Hawaii, building permits are administered at the county level — not through a single state agency. The four permitting jurisdictions are the City & County of Honolulu (Department of Planning and Permitting), Hawaii County (Department of Public Works, Building Division), Maui County (Building Division), and Kauai County (Building Division). Each county has its own submission requirements, but all require a site plan as part of virtually every permit application.

In Honolulu, all non-instant permit applications must be submitted digitally through the ePlans system — paper submittals are not accepted. The site plan must show lot dimensions, all existing permitted structures, distances from property lines, easements, and impervious surface area (ISA) calculations. Standard residential setbacks in Honolulu are 10 feet from the front property line and 5 feet from side and rear property lines — all of which must be clearly reflected on the submitted plan.

Homeowners in Hilo and Kailua-Kona submit through Hawaii County's Department of Public Works, while those on Maui and Kauai work through their respective county building divisions. For authoritative, county-specific requirements, visit honolulu.gov (Honolulu DPP) or dpw.hawaiicounty.gov (Hawaii County).

Common Hawaii Projects That Require a Site Plan

Nearly every construction or improvement project in Hawaii requires a site plan as part of the permit package. Common examples include:

  • Room additions — required by all four county building divisions for any structural expansion of an existing home.
  • Accessory dwelling units (ohana units) — ADU applications require a site plan showing the proposed unit's location, setbacks, and relationship to the primary structure.
  • Fencing permits — fences over 6 feet tall require a building permit in Honolulu (ROH Chapter 18); fences in flood zones or at street corners require a permit regardless of height.
  • Deck and patio permits — decks require a building permit per ROH Chapter 18 and a site plan showing placement and setbacks.
  • Accessory structure permits — sheds, carports, and detached garages all require a permit and a site plan showing the proposed structure's location on the lot.
  • Swimming pool permits — pools require a site plan demonstrating setback compliance and available lot coverage.
  • Solar panel installation — required under Act 204 for all new single-family dwellings; solar system placement must be shown on submitted plans.
  • Sign permits — commercial signage applications require a site plan showing sign location relative to the property and street.
  • Demolition permits — Hawaii County explicitly requires a site plan showing the construction to be demolished and all remaining structures on the lot.
  • Special Management Area (SMA) coastal permits — required before any building permit for development in coastal zones under HRS Chapter 205A; shoreline setback provisions apply within approximately 40 feet of the shoreline.
  • Conservation District Use Permits (CDUP) — projects in conservation land use districts require a CDUP from the State Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), and a site plan is essential documentation.
  • Zoning compliance and setback verification — including lot coverage (ISA) calculations required by Honolulu's ePlans review process.
  • Short-term rental licensing — some Hawaii counties require a site plan as part of vacation rental permit applications.
  • Driveway permits — new or modified driveway access requires a site plan showing ingress/egress location and dimensions.
  • Grading, grubbing, and landscape permits — ground disturbance projects require site plans and may trigger NPDES review in Honolulu.
  • HOA submissions — homeowners associations across Hawaii require site plans to review proposed improvements for community compliance.

Hawaii's Unique Permitting Environment

Hawaii's permitting landscape is shaped by the state's geography, ecology, and cultural heritage in ways that set it apart from every other state. Coastal development anywhere in Hawaii triggers a Special Management Area (SMA) permit under HRS Chapter 205A — this permit must be secured before any building permit can be issued, and a detailed site plan is central to demonstrating shoreline setback compliance. Projects near culturally sensitive sites may also require consultation with the Hawaii State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD), adding another layer of review where accurate site documentation matters.

In Honolulu, the ePlans review process involves multiple agencies simultaneously — including the Board of Water Supply, Honolulu Fire Department, Department of Health, Civil Engineering Branch, and NPDES Branch. A clearly drafted site plan that shows lot dimensions, ISA calculations, utility locations, and setbacks helps move your application through this multi-agency review efficiently. If your project involves lot coverage calculations, A Guide to Impervious Surface Calculation is a helpful resource for understanding what's typically required.

Hawaii counties served
County Permit Authority Site Plan Notes
Hawaii County Department of Public Works, Building Division — dpw.hawaiicounty.gov. Serves Hilo, Kailua-Kona, and all of the Big Island. A site plan is required for all residential building permits under the minimum residential permit drawing guidelines. Demolition permits specifically require a site plan showing the construction to be demolished and the location and size of all structures that will remain on the lot. Projects within conservation land use districts require a Conservation District Use Permit (CDUP) from the State DLNR, and a site plan is a core component of that application.
Maui County Maui County Building Division — mauicounty.gov. Serves Kahului, Maui, Molokai, and Lanai. A site plan is required for all building permit applications, including new construction, additions, accessory structures, and demolitions. Coastal projects within the Special Management Area (SMA) must obtain an SMA permit under HRS Chapter 205A before any building permit is issued — site plans must demonstrate compliance with shoreline setback provisions, which apply to development within approximately 40 feet of the shoreline.
Kauai County Kauai County Building Division — kauai.gov. Serves Lihue and all of Kauai Island. Site plans are required for all building permit applications, including new homes, additions, accessory dwelling units, and accessory structures. Coastal development is subject to Special Management Area (SMA) permit requirements under HRS Chapter 205A — an SMA permit is the first permit required for any development in the coastal zone, and a detailed site plan showing setbacks from the shoreline is essential for that review.
Kalawao County Hawaii Department of Health (state-administered); verify permit requirements directly with the State of Hawaii. Kalawao is the smallest county in the United States and is administered by the Hawaii State Department of Health rather than a traditional county government. Any construction or development within Kalawao County should be coordinated with state agencies; site plans are still expected documentation for any structural work or land use applications.
City & County of Honolulu Department of Planning & Permitting (DPP) — honolulu.gov. Serves Honolulu, Kailua, Pearl City, and all of Oahu. All non-instant permits must be submitted digitally via the ePlans system — paper submittals are not accepted. Site plans must show lot dimensions, all permitted structures with addresses, location of proposed work, distances from all property lines, easements, and ISA (impervious surface area) calculations. Standard residential setbacks are 10 ft front and 5 ft side and rear. Fences over 6 ft and retaining walls over 30 in require a building permit; fences in flood zones or at street corners require a permit regardless of height.
