Your home

Can You Host an Airbnb in Honolulu? It Depends on the Home

Whether you can host in Honolulu turns on whose home it is and whether you live there.

Your own home, rented whole while you're away

Allowed with conditions

Allowed only if the home is in a resort-zoned or mapped apartment area; register it as a transient vacation unit ($1,000), hold State GET and TAT licenses, carry $1,000,000 of liability insurance and get an association letter if the building has one. Elsewhere on Oahu a stay under 30 nights is not allowed unless the home holds a nonconforming use certificate.^7,8,9

A room in your home with you present

Allowed with conditions

Registration as a bed and breakfast home is possible only in eligible areas: you or a permanent resident must be present, the home needs a real property tax home exemption and you must own at least 50 percent; up to two rooms with two adults each.^7,9

A second home or investment property you don't live in

Allowed with conditions

Allowed as a transient vacation unit only where the property lies in a resort-zoned or mapped apartment area. In ordinary residential neighborhoods a rental under 30 nights is not permitted, and the city issues no new nonconforming use certificates.^7,8

A home with a nonconforming use certificate

Allowed with conditions

Homes rented since before October 22, 1986 may keep operating if the certificate is renewed every year between September 1 and October 15; renewals now go through HNL Build, and a renewal not approved by October 15, 2026 expires automatically.^7,8

A condo or HOA building

Allowed with conditions

The building must also be in an eligible area, and registration needs a letter from the homeowners or apartment owners association confirming the use is permitted. The city ordinance does not override private covenants that prohibit rentals.^1,9

Stays of 30 to 89 nights

Allowed with conditions

The DPP says it enforces the short-term rental rules against stays under 30 consecutive days across the board. The ordinance text still sets the line at 90 consecutive days, and a December 2023 federal court order bars enforcing that 90-day rule only against 30 to 89 day rentals lawfully operating on October 23, 2022, so a 30 to 89 night rental started after that date rests on the DPP's stated enforcement practice, not on the court order. State GET and TAT still apply to any stay under 180 days.^1,7,13,15

Permit

Do You Need a Permit for Airbnb in Honolulu?

Yes. Short-term rental hosts in Honolulu need the short-term rental registration from the City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP), through the HNL Build portal. It costs $1,025 in the first year (A one-home host pays $1,000 to register with the city and $500 a year to renew. The state tax licenses add a one-time $20 (GET) and $5 (TAT), so the first year costs $1,025 before insurance and taxes.) and $500 a year to renew.^7,8,9,10

Who needs it: Any owner or operator renting a unit for under 30 consecutive nights in a resort-zoned or mapped apartment-zoned area. Hotels, timeshare units and homes that already hold a nonconforming use certificate do not register under this system.^7,8,9,10
Issued by: City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP), through the HNL Build portal
Valid for: A registration lasts one year from the date the certificate is issued and renews annually. It is not transferable: a change in ownership of the property or in the operator of the unit needs a new registration.
On listings: The number must appear on every listing
Platform checks: Hosting platforms must register with the DPP and report each listing every month. Airbnb tells Honolulu hosts to add the tax map key, TAT number and registration number to the listing.

Valid State GET and TAT licenses and the city transient accommodations tax license, title report or tax record, $1,000,000 liability insurance and an informational binder

How to apply

Check the property on the DPP's STR eligibility map; request a written zoning verification ($300) if the result is unclear.
Hold or obtain State GET and TAT licenses (Form BB-1 through Hawaii Tax Online) and the city transient accommodations tax license for the property.
Gather the Statement of Compliance, a title report or real property tax record, an association letter, proof of $1,000,000 liability insurance and the informational binder (and, for a bed and breakfast home, the home exemption and ownership evidence).
Create an account in HNL Build, complete the registration and pay the $1,000 fee.
After approval, download the registration certificate from HNL Build and put its number and the property's tax map key in every advertisement.

FAQ

Honolulu Airbnb Rules: Frequently Asked Questions

Is Airbnb legal in Honolulu?

Yes, but only in resort-zoned areas and a few mapped apartment-zoned areas near Waikiki, Ko Olina, Turtle Bay and Hoakalei, and the home must be registered with the Department of Planning and Permitting. Elsewhere on Oahu, rentals under 30 nights are not permitted unless the home holds a grandfathered nonconforming use certificate.^1,7

Do I need a permit for Airbnb in Honolulu?

Yes. Each unit must be registered with the DPP as a bed and breakfast home or transient vacation unit before it is rented for under 30 days, and the host also needs State GET and TAT licenses and the city TAT license.^8,9,15

How much is the Honolulu short-term rental registration?

The city registration is $1,000 and lasts one year; renewal is $500 a year. The state tax licenses add a one-time $20 for the GET and $5 for the TAT.^9,10,18

Can I rent a home I don't live in?

Yes, as a transient vacation unit, but only if the property lies in a resort-zoned or mapped apartment area and is registered. In ordinary residential neighborhoods the city issues no new nonconforming use certificates.^1,7

Does Airbnb collect hotel tax in Honolulu?

No. Airbnb's list of places where it collects and remits taxes has no Hawaii entry, so hosts pay the state TAT, the Oahu TAT and the general excise tax themselves.^22,23

What is the hotel or occupancy tax in Honolulu?

The state transient accommodations tax is 11% since January 1, 2026 and the Oahu TAT is 3%. The general excise tax adds 4.5%, or up to 4.712% when passed on to the guest, for about 18.7% in total.^14,16,17

What is the fine for an illegal short-term rental in Honolulu?

A notice of order can impose a civil fine of up to $10,000 plus up to $10,000 for each day the violation continues. An unlawful advertisement left up after seven days draws up to $5,000 plus up to $10,000 a day.^1,2

Is there a limit on how many nights I can host?

There is no annual night cap. The limits are the zoning rule, the 30-night line, two adults per room, and for a bed and breakfast home at most two rooms with the owner present.^1,7

How do I check whether my property can be a short-term rental?

Look the property up on the DPP's STR eligibility map. If the result is unclear, a written zoning verification from the DPP costs $300.^7,8

Do I have to show a registration number on my Airbnb listing?

Yes. Advertisements for rentals under 30 days must show the registration or nonconforming use certificate number and the property's tax map key, and state law requires the TAT license number in every advertisement.^8,15,22

Can I rent for 30 to 89 nights?

The DPP says it enforces the short-term rental rules against stays under 30 consecutive days across the board. The ordinance text still sets the line at 90 consecutive days, and the December 2023 federal court order protects only 30 to 89 day rentals lawfully operating on October 23, 2022; a 30 to 89 night rental started later rests on the DPP's stated enforcement practice. State GET and TAT apply to any stay under 180 days.^1,7,13,15

Do I need insurance to host in Honolulu?

Yes. Registered hosts must maintain at least $1,000,000 per occurrence in commercial general liability insurance, or homeowner's insurance with business liability coverage; platform coverage counts if it meets that minimum.⁹

How many Honolulu Airbnbs are registered?

Approved short-term rental registrations: 1,289 as of January 14, 2025²¹. In AirROI's listing data, 91% of the 5,850 Honolulu Airbnb listings active in the 12 months to September 2026 displayed a permit, license or registration number. A number on a listing shows the host entered one; it doesn't confirm the permit is valid.

How much does an Airbnb make in Honolulu?

The average Honolulu listing earned $45,500 in the 12 months to September 2026, according to AirROI, averaged across every active listing including those booked for only part of the year. The Honolulu Airbnb market report breaks it down by month, property size and neighborhood.

Method

How These Rules Were Checked

Each rule on this page was checked in October 2026 against the official source cited beside it: the ordinance or statute, the permit office's own pages and the tax authority. Airbnb's help pages are cited on their own only for what Airbnb itself does, such as the taxes it collects and the permit checks it runs, and otherwise only beside an official source; news reports only for when a change was announced. Rules that could not be confirmed on an official page are left out. The Airbnb tax-collection list and the Honolulu code page for Article 2A were read from the live Airbnb page and an Internet Archive copy (June 2025) of American Legal Publishing; the DPP eligibility map is a JavaScript map and was not read.

Rules change with council votes, court rulings and new state laws, so the page is rechecked every three months and whenever a scheduled change takes effect. It summarizes the rules for information and is not legal advice; the local authority has the final word on any application.

Listing figures come from AirROI's tracking of 5,850 active Honolulu Airbnb listings over the 12 months to September 2026.
