If you’ve done construction on your home without a permit—or bought a property with unpermitted work— you’re not alone. In Honolulu, many homes have additions, decks, or garage conversions that were never officially approved. While this may not cause problems right away, it can turn into a major headache when it’s time to sell, refinance, or make changes. That’s where after-the-fact permit and violation resolution services come in. Home Planning Hawaii connects you with professionals who know how to work with the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) to fix these issues, legalize your property, and bring everything up to code.
An after-the-fact permit is a permit you apply for after the work has already been done. It's used to bring unpermitted construction into legal compliance with Honolulu’s building codes. This process includes creating proper drawings, inspections, and possibly making changes to meet safety standards.

Unpermitted work can block a home sale or delay refinancing. Lenders and buyers want everything to be legal.
The DPP may issue violations, fines, or stop you from doing more work until the issue is resolved.
Permits help make sure your home is safe, especially for electrical, plumbing, or structural changes.
