Tree removal permit rules in Ewa Gentry, HI — sometimes called heritage tree, protected tree, or street tree ordinances — list which trees require a permit before you can cut them down.
Removing a designated exceptional tree on an Ewa Gentry lot requires a Parks and Recreation permit under ROH Chapter 40, Article 8.
Ewa Gentry's landscape is mostly recent master-planned planting, but older monkeypod, kiawe, and shower trees survive along Fort Weaver Road and at legacy parcels near the former plantation camps. ROH Secs. 40-8.1 through 40-8.9 prohibit removal or destruction of any tree placed on the Oahu Exceptional Tree Register without a permit from the Department of Parks and Recreation. Section 40-8.9 provides a narrow emergency carve-out for imminent hazards. Common street trees are regulated separately under ROH Sec. 10-1.4, and the state Exceptional Tree Act in HRS Chapter 58 gives further backing. Owners should check the Register before any removal in Ewa Gentry.
Unpermitted removal of an exceptional tree can trigger misdemeanor citation, mitigation planting, and restitution based on arborist-assessed replacement value.
