From: Virginia Isbell, Vice Chaij
Subject: An Ordinance amending Chapter 5, Article 1, Hawaii County Code 1983
(2005 Edition, As Amended) relating to amnesty permits of the Building
Code
Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Building Code by adding a new section
relating to amnesty permits.
Owners of unpermitted residential buildings or agricultural farm structures completed
before January 1, 2006 may want to comply with the Building Code. This bill will create
an amnesty period beginning October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007. The owners
who secure an "amnesty permit" will be exempt from all civil and criminal penalties that
might be imposed for constructing a structure without a permit. All amnesty permits
must satisfy the requirements of the Building Code, which include permit fees.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Encl.
