Navigate Local Rules and Get Your Project Approved Faster

Before you build, add on, or renovate in Honolulu, your plans need to meet the city’s zoning rules. These rules affect what you can build, where, and how. Getting through the planning and zoning approval process can be tricky—but with the right help, it doesn’t have to be. Home Planning Hawaii helps homeowners understand what’s allowed on their property and connects them with professionals who can guide the approval process from start to finish.

What Is Planning & Zoning Approval?

Planning and zoning approval is the process of checking that your building plans follow the City and County of Honolulu’s land use rules. These rules cover everything from building height to how close your home can be to the property line.

It Often Involves:

  • Reviewing zoning codes for your property
  • Confirming allowable uses, lot coverage, and setbacks
  • Preparing and submitting planning applications
  • Meeting with city planners (if needed)
  • Responding to feedback and making adjustments
Why It Matters in Honolulu

Rules Are Strict and Detailed

Honolulu has different zoning rules for each neighborhood and property type. Missing even one requirement can delay your project.

Many Projects Require Approval Before Permits

Before you can pull a building permit, your design often needs to pass through a zoning review—especially for additions, ADUs, or new homes.

Early Guidance Saves Time and Money

Knowing what’s allowed up front helps you avoid redesigns, rejections, or wasted time.
