Signature Submittal Requirements and Energy Code Goes into Effect

November 23, 2023

Signature Requirement

For all documents building permit related, ensure that all plans are either scanned original wet signatures or has a digital certificate for each signature. This is in accordance with the recent amendment to HAR 16-115 and DPP's requirement for all permit applications to be submitted via ePlans. If not signed properly, it will delay the permit process. 

Energy Code (2018 IECC with State and City Amendments)

Ord 23-25 [Bill 4], signed into law August 25, 2023, will go into effect only for building permit applications applied for starting November 23, 2023.
