Bulldozing permits

[EightFingers]

If memory serves me, you only need a permit if you doze more than five acres. Am I correct on that?

Here's what I dug up on the requirements:

the county seems to get involved frequently if you make a drive apron unto a county road. if it is a private road they seem to leave you alone. again, as always, if no neighbors complain and you dont change drainage you are probably fine...

[EightFingers]

Basically it's just to clear some vegetaion as the lot is pretty flat. Hopefully it should be pretty easy......

It is the law. Grubbing and grading 1/2 acre requires permit. 1 acre bulldozing requires permit. Because county Dpw refuse to comply. Hawiaian acres will fine landowners for violations.

Not Hawaiian Acres? Maybe Hawaiian Paradise Park.

This is HPP.

Is that part of some cc&r's?

The Hawaii County Grubbing & Grading Permits are County Law (for what it is worth...).

A GRADING permit is required that involves 1) 100 sq yd excavation or fill 2) excavation or fill that exceeds 5 vertical feet in height 3) when generalized or local drainage abutting property lines is altered

A GRUBBING permit is required to clear ANY area over 43, 560 ft.sq. (exactly 1 acre)

Thanks, Carey, I have some side by side lots so I think I could get away with doing two acres with no permit!
I have a single lot on the point as well, but it's only 1/2 acre which will only need grubbing.
