Door-to-door sellers in East Honolulu must hold a Honolulu peddler's license under ROH Chapter 13, Article 6, which charges a $27.50 annual fee and applies equally in Hawaii Kai and Aina Haina.
ROH Chapter 13, Article 6 requires anyone soliciting sales door-to-door in East Honolulu neighborhoods, from Hawaii Kai cul-de-sacs to Aina Haina and Niu Valley, to hold a city-issued peddler's license. Sec. 13-6.1 sets the annual fee at $27.50 and Sec. 13-6.2 governs how and where peddling may occur. Non-profit canvassers, religious groups, and political campaigners are generally exempt but remain subject to general trespass law. Hawaii Kai gated areas like Portlock and Hawaii Loa Ridge are private and entry requires HOA consent regardless of license status. Enforcement typically begins with resident complaints to the Honolulu Police Department.
Peddling without a city license is a petty misdemeanor; enforcement includes citations, fines, and potential arrest for repeat offenders or those refusing to leave posted property.
