How to build quickly?

[Rob Tucker]

State DOH doesn't do any inspections unless they are responding to a complaint.

On site completion cesspool & Septic system inspections are done by the certifying engineer or architect.

Kiara, I'm confused on what you're saying above... I think it must be typos? Rob is correct on inspections, it's an engineer or engineer hired inspector who does the inspections, not the dept of health, and all inspections regarding unpermitted building (including cesspools) are complaint driven throughout Hawaii.

As for Ag exemptions, I was told by the Kona building department early on (after recent code changes) That accessory structure clause exemptions would ONLY be for buildings without plumbing or electric, on properties that already have permits pulled for residential structure, and only up to 600 square feet and 12' high.

I recently heard from the building department in Oahu that they allow structures up to 120 square feet on any ag or residential property, no plumbing or electric is allowed, but neither is a permitted structure required to comply.

They may have sorted out the wording a bit more and have their 'protocol' listed differently now here on the Big Island, but that was the case according to Gary at the Kona Bldg Dept. as of three to five months ago.

HR2646 appears to grant an "ag exemption" for up to five buildings of up to 1000sf each, no County permits required, provided the lot is not less than two acres.

Final inspection aside, it's not clear whether a septic permit can be issued "standalone" or only in conjunction with another (permitted) structure.
