CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU

Welcome to The Department of Planning & Permitting

We provide services and information on building permits, development projects, and planning activities for the City and County of Honolulu.

CHANGING THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS - There are two significant improvements in how the Department of Planning and Permitting will process certain permits. We are requiring One-Time Review for Interior Renovations and Site Development Plan Submittal Checklist. Both changes are designed to improve customer service by shortening processing times. These changes help our applicants submit complete plans that comply with regulations. Our staff can then spend more time in doing our job of processing and approving applications.

• Online Services & Resources - This helpful page will provide you online resources to conduct business with the us from calculating your permit cost to vital checklist to submit plans to our one-stop permit center.  
• Plans - You will find one page with all the plans that were developed or soon to be published from the planning division.
• What we do - Want to know more about what we do?  We have summarized the information, provided provide phone numbers with description of each division and branch.
