Garage conversions in Mililani Town are regulated as ADUs under ROH Sec. 21-5.720 and commonly prohibited or restricted by HOA covenants, requiring both city permits and association approval.
Garage conversions to habitable space in Mililani Town fall under ROH Sec. 21-5.720 and are treated as ADU creation. The city requires a building permit under ROH Sec. 18-3.2, compliance with ADU one-per-lot limits, and replacement parking. However, Mililani Town Association and most neighborhood associations strictly regulate or prohibit garage conversions because they change exterior appearance and affect neighborhood parking. Converting without HOA approval can trigger legal action and fines. After-the-fact permits may exist for pre-September 2015 conversions, subject to HOA acceptance.
Unpermitted conversions face city enforcement and daily fines; HOA violations add separate penalties and potential lawsuits.
