Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗If you disagree with a decision made by the director about a subdivision, you can appeal to the zoning board of appeals. You must file your appeal within 15 days of getting the notice, and the board will give you a chance to explain your side. The board can change or cancel the director's decision only if the director made a clear mistake or acted unfairly.
