Mililani Town retaining walls follow ROH Sec. 21-4.40 rules and HOA review. Fill-retaining walls in required yards cannot exceed 6 feet, and terraced walls are measured in combination.
ROH 21-4.40 caps fill-retaining walls in required yards at 6 feet for Mililani properties. Terraced walls are combined for height measurement when closely spaced, limiting options on sloped lots at community edges. Walls over 30 inches need permits and usually engineering. While Mililani is relatively flat compared to windward neighborhoods, perimeter and greenbelt-adjacent lots may have grade differences requiring walls. HOA review adds aesthetic and material requirements. Proper drainage is still essential to prevent saturation during winter rain. Geotechnical evaluation may be required for tall or heavily loaded walls.
Unpermitted or over-height retaining walls can bring stop-work orders, after-the-fact fees, HOA fines, and liability for downhill damage.
