Shed permit rules in Kaneohe, HI — also referred to as storage shed, backyard shed, or accessory building regulations — set size limits, setbacks, and when a building permit is required.
Sheds in Kaneohe must meet yard and street setback requirements under ROH Sec. 21-4.30, with small sheds possibly permit-exempt but still subject to zoning rules.
ROH Sec. 21-4.30 governs yards and street setbacks for accessory structures including sheds, common in Kaneohe's rain-fed residential yards. Setbacks vary by zoning district and lot size. Height is separately regulated under Sec. 21-4.60. Sheds below specific floor area thresholds in ROH Chapter 18 may not require building permits, though they still must meet zoning setbacks. Kaneohe's heavy rainfall, stream proximity, and occasional flood zones along Kaneohe Stream and near Heeia can add review requirements for structures placed near waterways.
Sheds encroaching on setbacks, exceeding height, or placed without required permits can incur removal orders and fines.
