Honolulu DPP escalates short-term rental enforcement through a three-strike framework, revoking registrations after repeat violations within a 24-month window and barring re-registration for two years.
Under Ordinance 22-7's enforcement provisions, DPP issues a notice of violation on the first offense with a base fine of $1,000 per day. Second offenses within 24 months double the daily penalty to $5,000, and third offenses trigger registration revocation plus a $10,000 daily fine until compliance. Revoked operators cannot apply for a new registration for 24 months and may face property liens. The Office of Climate Change, Sustainability and Resiliency tracks chronic offender lists.
Operating after registration revocation or accumulating three substantiated complaints within two years results in loss of registration, recorded liens, and continued $10,000 daily penalties.
