ROH §18A-2.1
Permits required for grading, grubbing, and stockpiling
Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗You must get a permit before grading, grubbing, or stockpiling land, unless the law says you don't need one. Grubbing is allowed without a separate permit if you already have a grading permit for that land. This section only sets the permit requirement.
