East Honolulu residents do not need a permit for occasional garage sales under LUO 21-5.350, which treats them as accessory residential use, though resale of newly purchased inventory triggers home-occupation licensing.
Honolulu County does not require a permit for garage or yard sales in residential neighborhoods like Hawaii Kai, Aina Haina, and Kuliouou. LUO Sec. 21-5.350 allows occasional garage sales as accessory use customary to normal residential living. However, the ordinance prohibits using garage sales to resell items purchased elsewhere for commercial gain. Affluent East Honolulu estate downsizing or moving sales qualify as occasional use, but running a recurring retail operation from the garage would require home-occupation or commercial permitting through DPP.
Zoning enforcement if activity becomes commercial in scale; no citation for genuine occasional sales.
