Hot tubs and spas in Mililani Town are governed by ROH Chapter 16, Article 6 together with the state residential and plumbing codes, with no standalone spa ordinance.
There is no separate hot tub chapter in the ROH. In Mililani Town, spas are regulated under ROH Chapter 16, Article 6 and the Hawaii State Residential Code adopted by ROH Sec. 16-1.2, along with the plumbing code. ROH 16-6.2 barrier rules apply where a spa meets the statutory depth or capacity threshold; most backyard spas comply by using ASTM-certified locking covers. Hard-plumbed or hard-wired spas typically require Chapter 18 plumbing and electrical permits, and licensed contractors are needed for bonding and GFCI protection. HOA rules may further limit spa placement and screening from neighbors.
Missing barriers, unpermitted plumbing, or uncertified electrical work can trigger citations, required repairs, and orders halting spa use.
