Kailua tree replacement obligations flow from ROH Chapter 40 Article 8 for Exceptional Trees, ROH §10-1.4 for street trees, and Land Use Ordinance landscaping rules for commercial sites and subdivisions.
Honolulu does not have a single citywide tree replacement ordinance. For Exceptional Trees, replacement is imposed through ROH Chapter 40 Article 8 regulations and DPR permit conditions when alteration or removal is allowed. Street trees removed under ROH §10-1.4 must generally be replaced at the permit holder's cost with a species approved by the Department of Facility Maintenance. LUO landscaping provisions in ROH Title 21 require minimum tree counts and shade coverage for new commercial development, subdivisions, and parking lots in Kailua.
Failure to replace trees per permit conditions can result in civil fines, permit revocation, and billed replacement costs.
