ROH §16C-1.3
When to file benchmarking reports and how owners are notified
Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗This section sets the first filing dates for buildings of different sizes and says that after that, reports are due every year by June 30. For the first three years, the city must try to remind owners by mail, email, or website, but if they don't, owners still have to file.

(a) The initial benchmarking reports for each covered property must be filed in accordance with the schedule in the following table. Subsequent benchmarking reports for each covered property are due by June 30 of each year thereafter.

Covered properties 100,000 sq. ft.

Covered properties 50,000 sq. ft. but < 100,000 sq. ft.
June 30, 2024
Covered properties 25,000 sq. ft. but < 50,000 sq. ft.

(b) No later than three months before each reporting deadline, for at least the first three years during which an owner is required to provide a benchmarking report, the department shall attempt to notify those owners of their obligation to benchmark via direct mail, electronically via email, or through a public posting on a website. Failure of the department to notify any owner does not affect the obligation of the owner to complete and submit required benchmarking reports.
