Kapolei residents are subject to Hawaii's statewide exotic animal quarantine rules prohibiting hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, snakes, and many other common mainland pets.
HRS Chapter 150A and HAR 4-71 regulate exotic animal possession statewide and are enforced by the Hawaii Department of Agriculture. Kapolei residents cannot keep prohibited species regardless of HOA or landlord approval. Honolulu ROH does not duplicate the list, but local nuisance enforcement under ROH 7-2 serves as a backstop. HOA covenants in planned communities may further restrict legally allowed exotic birds, reptiles, or fish. Violations of state quarantine rules carry misdemeanor penalties and may result in animal destruction or return shipment at owner expense.
