Urban Honolulu enforces the islandwide Land Use Ordinance at ROH 21-4.60 to limit fence, wall, and hedge heights in Waikiki, Ala Moana, Manoa, and other CDP neighborhoods.
Because the City and County of Honolulu is consolidated, Urban Honolulu neighborhoods follow the same LUO Section 21-4.60 height rules that apply across Oahu. In the dense R-5 and A-1 apartment districts that cover Kaimuki, Kapahulu, and much of the CDP, fences typically cap at 6 feet in side and rear yards and 4 feet in front yards facing the street. Along major street frontages in Waikiki and Ala Moana, fences or walls over 36 inches must meet additional landscape or setback standards to preserve sight lines. Special design districts such as Waikiki Special District and the Diamond Head Special District add further height and view-corridor rules.
Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting enforces LUO Article 2 violations with notices of violation, mandatory lowering or removal of the fence, and civil fines that accrue daily until the violation is corrected.
