ROH §14-16.3
How property owners can protest a proposed maintenance district
Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗Property owners who would be charged for a proposed maintenance district can object in writing or in person at the public hearing. If enough owners (by value) file written protests, the district won't be created unless the council votes strongly to override. If the protest wins, the district can't be tried again for six months unless protesters withdraw.

The ordinance, as written (Honolulu County) — Protests - Objections - Suggestions
A copy, taken August 22, 2026. The version published by Honolulu is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
Any owner of property proposed to be assessed may at any time before or at the public hearing file in writing with the council any protest, objection, or suggestion as to the proposed maintenance district, stating briefly the reason therefor, or present the same in person, orally, at the public hearing. If owners representing 55 percent of the total assessment value, at the hearing or prior thereto, file with the council written protests, duly acknowledged by such owners, against the proposed maintenance district, the same shall not be made, unless by a two-thirds vote of all members of the council. If the protest against the proposed maintenance district is sustained, the same shall not be made, and the proceedings shall not be renewed within six months from the date of closing of the public hearing, unless each and every owner protesting shall sooner withdraw the protest.
