Kaneohe STR operators must file a floor plan with DPP identifying maximum occupancy per bedroom, and advertised guest counts on Airbnb or VRBO must match the registered occupancy exactly.
ROH Sec. 21-5.730 requires registration with a floor plan showing max occupancy per bedroom and an informational binder posted on-site. B&Bs have statutory bedroom caps, typically no more than the number allowed in the zoning category. DPP cross-checks advertising against filings and frequently investigates Kaneohe listings that advertise sleeping 10 to 12 guests. Life-safety concerns apply under the building and fire codes for overloaded sleeping quarters. Overcrowding often drives parking and noise complaints that compound enforcement.
Occupancy violations carry fines up to $10,000 per day and typically result in registration suspension.
