Permit Exempt Agricultural Structures

Agricultural building or structures built in accordance with Hawaii Revised Statues 46-88 are exempt from building permits. However, you must declare the structure with the City and County of Honolulu.

If an existing declared exempt structure is altered in any way that does not meet Hawaii Revised Statues 46-88, a building permit is required.

Note: Exempt structures are not allowed to have any plumbing or electrical work.

How it Works:

Step 1: Submit Documentation

Submit all required documents to the Department of Planning and Permitting

Step 2: Construction

Build structure in accordance with HRS 46-88.

Mahalo!

You correctly documented a building permit exempted structure per HRS 46-88.
