Permit Application Cancellation Amnesty Update
REGARDING PICKING UP PERMITS UPON NOTICE OF PERMIT ISSUANCE
Permit application cancellations (per HCC Section 5-4-7) will be granted amnesty until
all email communications through the EPIC system are confirmed for reliability. It was
determined on November 30, 2021, that while permit applications did move
appropriately through the EPIC system, a technical system issue resulted in email
notification failures when communicating the notification of the permit application status
to the applicants.
As we are committed to improving our communication with the public, we are working to
resolve this issue as expeditiously as possible. Until DPW is assured that this email
notification issue has been resolved, no permit applications will be cancelled.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding.
Any questions can be addressed to DPW Information and Education Specialist, Sherise
Kana’e-Kāne at sherise.kanae-kane@hawaiicounty.gov or 808-961-8499.
