Provide Tax Map Key (TMK) of project location. System is also able to search by Street Address. Search "auto-suggests" selection as you type. If your search does not return a TMK, please verify your TMK information from Real Property's website at www.hawaiipropertytax.com and then come into the Building Division to process your application. For this demonstration I will be using the County Building (101 Pauahi..). Notice that the search field auto suggests the address. 4 | Page STEP 3 CONTACT INFO Identify the contacts associated with the project. Owner, Lessee or Tenant (auto filled from Building's copy of Real Property information) required field Applicant *(For Electrical and Plumbing permits this would generally be the contractor) required for Electrical and Plumbing applications Architect, Engineer, Builder, Contractor *, Sign Installer, Design Professional Notice how there are 2 Owner entries (Owner and Owner 2). This information was retrieved from Building's copy of Real Property Data. There may be a discrepancy between what is listed on Real Property's website and what is shown here. There is presently a month lag of when Building's copy of Real Property Information is updated. Within the instructions at the top of this screen, it mentions that the required contact types are a minimum of (1) legal property owner, (1) applicant, and (1) plumbing contractor. 5 | Page STEP 3 CONTACT INFO (cont.) For this demonstration I will be using Robyn as the Contractor as well as Applicant. (For Plumbing applications the Plumbing Contractor is the applicant). If you do not include all the required field entries, the system will generate an error message and advise as to what information is missing. By clicking on the check box below the email address, you are requesting an email confirmation be sent once the web application is created. 6 | Page STEP 3 CONTACT INFO (cont.) The contractor field works like that of the TMK field such that it "auto suggests" either by name or by license number. I've entered in Robyn's license number (10273) and selected her from the list. Building maintains a copy of licensed professionals that we obtain from Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA). Again as with the Real Property information, there may be a lag between the copy we have and what DCCA has on file. If you are unable to locate your information, please contact Building Division (email, phone, or in-person). 7 | Page STEP 4 PROJECT DETAILS Enter in details of Permit application.
