Is it legal to have a composting toilet, or not?
If you need "legal certainty", don't rely on the opinions of pseudonymous forum posters.
DoH "may" approve an NSF-listed composting toilet as a replacement for a "regular" toilet in permitted construction. If they feel like it and/or it's not too much trouble. However, you will still need a septic system for the rest of your drain plumbing, and that septic system needs to be inspected/approved, etc.
That said, if you're "asking permission", maybe Puna isn't for you?
