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.
When an annual fee has already been paid on a vehicle and that vehicle is, within the year, replaced by another vehicle, the unexpired portion of the annual fee paid on the vehicle so replaced shall be credited to the annual fee payable for the replacement vehicle. For the purposes hereof, the unexpired portion of the annual fee shall be that amount that is equal to $2 for each full month remaining in the current licensing year. In addition, whenever a vehicle is replaced by another vehicle under the provisions hereof, the sum of $5 shall be charged and collected to defray the administrative costs incurred by the city.
