Department of Public Works (DPW) Building Division is pleased to announce that issued permit placards are now available to print from the convenience of the applicant’s home or place of business.
Applicants are no longer required to pick up their permit placard from the Building Division offices in Kona and Hilo.
Applicants may access their permit placard upon issuance by logging into their EPIC account and viewing the “Attachments” tab of their permit.
Per Section 5-5-2 of the Hawaii County Code, Work requiring a permit shall not be commenced until the permit holder or their agent shall have posted the permit in a conspicuous place on the job site. The permit shall be readily visible for the authority having jurisdiction to identify and make all required inspections. The permit shall remain posted in a conspicuous place on the job site until the work has passed a final inspection by the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to comply with this provision shall subject the violator to a $100 fine.
Applicants remain able to have their permit placard printed at the Building Division offices and are highly encouraged to schedule a time to pick up their permit placard via the EPIC Request Assistance form available online.
