Urban Honolulu requires door-to-door peddlers and solicitors operating in Waikiki, Ala Moana, and residential neighborhoods to hold a city peddler's license under ROH Chapter 13, Article 6.
ROH Chapter 13, Article 6 sets the peddler's license requirements across the City and County of Honolulu, which fully overlays the Urban Honolulu CDP. Section 13-6.1 fixes the annual license fee at $27.50. Section 13-6.2 regulates peddling activity, including time, location, and manner restrictions critical in dense tourist zones like Waikiki, Ala Moana, and Kakaako where sidewalks are crowded. Sections 13-6.3 and 13-6.4 address license display and revocation for violations or complaints. Street peddling within Waikiki Special District faces additional sidewalk-sales restrictions. Charitable, religious, and political canvassers are often exempt from licensing under First Amendment principles but remain subject to reasonable time, place, and manner rules.
Peddling without a license in Urban Honolulu is a misdemeanor punishable by fines, license revocation, and arrest for continued violations. Complaints in Waikiki and Ala Moana are aggressively enforced by the Honolulu Police Department.
