The following are some guides to your rebuild:
1. Hire a design professional and begin designing your home. The first step in the permit process is completing the design of your house. Designs must be prepared by an architect or structural engineer licensed in the State of Hawaii. A list of architects can be found on Maui AIA (American Institute of Architects) Chapter’s website here.
2. Research land use requirements that may affect the design of your home. Your design professional can assist you in understanding the requirements based on your land use zoning and how the requirement may affect your design.
3. Once your design professional has completed building plans for your home, you may apply for a building permit. A property owner may apply for a building permit under the Disaster Recovery work class. Information on how to apply is available at: mapps.mauicounty.gov/320/DSA-Disaster-Recovery-Building-Permit.
All structures must be built to current codes. Please visit Building Plans Review Section here for the current building codes.
