Shed permit rules in Ewa Gentry, HI — also referred to as storage shed, backyard shed, or accessory building regulations — set size limits, setbacks, and when a building permit is required.
Backyard sheds in Ewa Gentry must meet Honolulu LUO yard and setback requirements under ROH Sec. 21-4.30, with height limits in Sec. 21-4.60. Small sheds under the ROH Chapter 18 threshold may not need a building permit.
Sheds are considered accessory structures under the Honolulu Land Use Ordinance. ROH Sec. 21-4.30 sets the required yards and street setbacks based on your zoning district; typical R-5 residential lots in Ewa Gentry require a minimum rear and side yard measured from property lines. Height is capped under ROH Sec. 21-4.60. Smaller prefabricated sheds below the size threshold in ROH Chapter 18 can be installed without a building permit, but they still must observe setback and height rules. Ewa Gentry HOAs commonly impose architectural review and color or material standards on top of city code, so homeowners should confirm both city and HOA requirements before buying or placing a shed.
Structures placed in required yard areas or exceeding height limits can be cited and ordered removed by DPP.
