How permitting works in Hawaii
In Hawaii, the "County" is the supreme permitting authority. Because there are no municipal governments (cities) below the county level, the four county governments handle 100% of the building permit process for every project on their respective islands, from the initial zoning check to the final certificate of occupancy.
Four Counties handle all permitting; no City involvement.
