Vehicles unattended on Kaneohe streets more than 24 hours can be declared abandoned under ROH 15-13.8, with HPD or DCS authorizing tow and owners billed for storage and disposal.
ROH Sec. 15-13.8 defines an abandoned vehicle as one left unattended on a public street for more than 24 hours, with removal authority delegated to HPD and the Department of Customer Services. Definitions live at ROH 15-2.2 and state law HRS 290-11 overlays. Kaneohe regularly sees abandoned vehicles near industrial fringes off Kamehameha Highway, wetlands adjacent to Heeia, and at remote pullouts along Kahaluu. The Abandoned Vehicle Disposal Fund at ROH Chapter 29 Article 20 funds removal. Registered owners are liable for tow, storage, and disposal fees not covered by auction proceeds when vehicles are sold.
