ROH Sec. 18-3.1 sets the permit thresholds for fences and walls in Kaneohe. Retaining walls up to 30 inches are exempt, but most taller or masonry structures need a City building permit before construction.
Under ROH 18-3.1, retaining and riprap walls 30 inches or shorter are exempt from building permits in Kaneohe. Most fences over 6 feet, all masonry walls regardless of height, and any fence within a flood zone require DPP permits. Kaneohe properties in flood hazard areas along Kaneohe Stream or near the bay face heightened review. Permit applications include a site plan, elevation drawings, material specs, and structural calculations for masonry. Inspections during and after construction are standard. Building without a permit exposes owners to after-the-fact fees and potential mandated removal.
Unpermitted fence or wall work can trigger stop-work orders, multi-multiple after-the-fact fee levies, and forced removal at the owner's cost.
