ROH §13-19.6
What happens to money from selling impounded property
Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗When the city sells impounded property, it first takes out what you owe for fees, rent, debts, and sale costs. Any leftover money is kept for you for 30 days, then goes to the city's general fund if you don't claim it.
