Did he say you need a permit to bring firewood to your property?
Yes, so I was told.
The part which was unclear to me (and remains unclear) is under what portion of the bazillion County of Hawaii bureaucratic rules & regulations a permit is required for bringing wood onto one's property. This matters because apparently it could be under "no stockpiling materials without a permit" (just lumber or all wood in general?) or "no commercial activity without a business license" (if the material was presumed to be for use in an enterprise of some sort, even with ag zoning) or "no transporting noxious invasive plants & animals without a permit" (assuming there were such in the load) or perhaps a plain "no bringing chopped up trees onto your property without a permit." This part I do not know. Bringing home and stacking firewood is done all the time without permits, of course, and only becomes an issue if someone complains. Given the other complaints filed with the county at the same time apparently the person who filed the complaints thought I was intending to sell something or run a business from this site (not the case, though it is within the zoning to do so as long as one has a business license). The inspector did clearly say that (whether with lumber scraps or chopped-up trees) it is first necessary to obtain a permit before making even a small batch of biochar (which I have never done), even if it is with trees from one's own acreage -not imported from elsewhere- and for one's own use, not for sale. Since this was all jumbled together I was unclear which portion pertained to which other, but was left with the distinct understanding that bringing chopped up trees onto one's property is not completely OK unless a permit was in hand for doing so (though folks do so in plain sight, for years, without any problem whatsoever as long as no complaints are filed). My understanding may be incomplete or flawed, but it stems directly out of recent firsthand experience. If someone knows otherwise for a fact, then please do speak up.
