Mililani Town FAQ

Does Mililani Town have many exceptional trees?

Relatively few compared to older Oahu communities. Check the Parks and Recreation Exceptional Tree Register before any significant tree work or remodel.

Can I remove a protected tree blocking solar panels?

Not without a Chapter 40 permit. Shading issues are not emergency hazards. Consider tree trimming under Sec. 10-1.4 with Parks and Recreation instead.

Mililani Mauka FAQ

Are any Mauka trees on the exceptional list?

Possibly. Check the Oahu Exceptional Tree Register through the Department of Parks and Recreation. Most Mauka subdivision trees are not listed, but a few may be.

Can I remove a dead tree in my Mauka yard?

Yes. Private trees that are not on the Register can be removed without a city permit. HOA approval through the Mauka design committee may still be required.
