Kapolei households may keep up to two hens under county ordinance, with roosters banned and coops constrained by zoning setbacks across the Second City's dense residential mix.
ROH Sec. 7-2.4 caps noncommercial households at two chickens and bans roosters, with coops subject to LUO zoning, setback, and sanitation standards. Kapolei's planned communities including Mehana, Kekuilani, Malanai, and the newer Ho'opili in-fill areas are zoned for single-family and apartment residential uses with accompanying CCRs that frequently prohibit backyard poultry. Commercial keeping exceptions under ROH 7-2.1 are irrelevant in these residential tracts. Homeowners should pull their recorded CCRs and association design rules before setting up any enclosure.
County nuisance citations for sanitation and setback failures plus HOA fines and compliance orders.
