Kapolei FAQ

Can STR guests use my assigned HOA stall?

Only if the HOA allows transient use of the assigned stall; some Kapolei HOAs restrict or ticket transient vehicles.

Does a tandem driveway count as two stalls?

Potentially, if the LUO and building permit recognize it, but DPP review controls how stalls are counted.

Urban Honolulu FAQ

Do guests need parking passes in Waikiki buildings?

Most Waikiki condos require guest parking passes; the STR parking plan on file with DPP should document how guest vehicles will be accommodated in deeded stalls.

Can I advertise that guests use on-street parking?

No. Sec. 21-5.730 requires on-site off-street parking per the approved plan; advertising otherwise undermines compliance and invites enforcement.
