Kapolei enforces ROH Chapter 20, Article 6, which bans consumer aerial fireworks and requires HFD permits for firecrackers or any display pyrotechnics.
Article 6 of ROH Chapter 20 applies across Kapolei, from the civic center to Kapolei Commons and residential tracts. Consumer aerial fireworks, including cakes, mortars, and bottle rockets, are prohibited. Firecrackers are only lawful under an individual cultural permit capped at 5,000 strings per permit for New Year's and Chinese New Year periods. Commercial displays, common at Kapolei community events, require a licensed display operator and a permit under Sec. 20-6.12. Importers, storers, and sellers of display fireworks or firecrackers need a separate license under Sec. 20-6.4.
Illegal possession or use of aerial fireworks can result in misdemeanor charges and seizure, with enhanced penalties for sales activity.
