Honolulu STRs must identify maximum occupancy per bedroom on a filed floor plan and comply with bedroom count caps for B&Bs and TVUs under ROH Sec. 21-5.730.
ROH Sec. 21-5.730 requires each registered STR to submit a floor plan identifying bedrooms used for guests and the maximum occupancy for each. The informational binder provided to guests must list the approved occupancy limits. Bed and breakfast homes on Oahu are capped at a small number of guest bedrooms per dwelling, preserving residential character, while transient vacation units operate as whole-home rentals subject to the floor plan and fire-safety occupancy standards. Occupancy violations are tracked alongside noise and parking complaints for registration renewal review.
Exceeding the posted occupancy, renting unapproved rooms, or altering the floor plan without DPP review can lead to fines and registration revocation under Bill 41.
