Background <br />What is a facility use permit? <br />The County maintains facilities throughout the island for events such as parties, luaus, reunions, <br />graduations, concerts, etc. The public can rent these facilities for a security deposit and a user <br />fee. Permit fees may be waived for some events such as for other government agencies, <br />student sports activities, and events open to the public. <br />Reservations can either be made over the counter or mailed in advance along with payment if <br />they are not able to come into the office. However, mailed payments will not guarantee a <br />reservation until the payment is received and availability is confirmed. If structures, tents, or <br />canopies are used then a temporary structure permit is required. No internet reservation system <br />is currently available for facility use permits. <br />Methods of payment include cash, money order or cashier's check, or personal checks. <br />Personal checks are only accepted if payment is made at least 14 days prior to the reservation <br />date and payable to the County Director of Finance. Credit cards are now accepted for facility <br />use permits at both the Hilo office (May 2016) and Kona office (June 2016). <br />How much is a facility use permit? <br />Permit cost varies by location. Security deposits range from $200 to $1,000.
