Ewa Gentry is residentially zoned, so under ROH §21-5.730 (Ord. 22-7) and Ordinance 25-52 DPP will not register sub-30-day STRs here. Registration is reserved for resort-zoned and limited apartment-zoned properties; Bill 62 (2025) sets initial fees at $1,000 and renewals $500.
Ewa Gentry sits in Honolulu's R-5 and AG-1 envelope, not a resort or apartment-mixed-use zone. Under Ordinance 22-7 and Ordinance 25-52, only resort-zoned and a narrow band of A-1/A-2 apartment districts within 3,500 feet of a 50+ acre resort district may obtain an STR registration certificate. Eligible applicants submit through HNL Build with a Statement of Compliance, $1,000,000 liability insurance, TAT/GET tax IDs, and the Bill 62 (2025) fee — $1,000 initial or $500 renewal when ownership and operators stay the same. Ewa Gentry homeowners may only offer rentals of 30 consecutive days or longer.
Operating, advertising, or booking an unregistered sub-30-day STR in Ewa Gentry violates ROH §21-5.730. Ordinance 22-7 authorizes civil fines up to $10,000 for the first violation and up to $10,000 per day for each continuing day.
