HCC §3-21
When a sign permit expires
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗A sign permit is only good for a limited time. If you do not start the work within 12 months, or if you stop work for more than 90 days, the permit becomes void automatically. Any sign built under that expired permit is then against the law.
