East Honolulu imposes no numeric cap on garage sale frequency, but LUO 21-5.350 requires sales remain occasional and accessory, with recurring events potentially classified as unpermitted home occupations.
The Revised Ordinances of Honolulu do not set a specific numeric frequency cap for residential garage sales. LUO Sec. 21-5.350 instead applies a qualitative test: the activity must remain occasional and accessory to normal residential use. In East Honolulu's Hawaii Kai and Portlock neighborhoods, hosting one or two sales per year typically stays within this framework, while monthly or weekly sales would push the activity toward regulated home-occupation or retail classification. Recurring sales of the same type of merchandise are a common trigger for DPP review and potential zoning enforcement.
Zoning notice of violation if sales become recurring commercial activity without home-occupation permit.
