Hawaii Kai garage and yard sales are permitted only as occasional accessory uses customarily associated with residential living under the Land Use Ordinance; they cannot become regular retail.
Chapter 21 the Land Use Ordinance treats garage and yard sales as accessory uses customarily associated with normal residential living. They are not home occupations and no dedicated permit exists. Sales must remain occasional and small-scale. If sales occur frequently, advertise wholesale pricing, or stock goods bought for resale, DPP may reclassify the activity as unpermitted retail in a residential zone, subjecting the owner to zoning enforcement. Signage must comply with the LUO limits on temporary residential signs, and no goods or parking may spill into the public right-of-way in East Honolulu's narrow cul-de-sac streets.
Running weekend-after-weekend sales, stocking resale merchandise, or posting off-site directional signs on utility poles can be cited as an unpermitted home business under Chapter 21.
