Internet Makes it Easier to Track Permits

HONOLULU – The Wastewater Branch of the State Department of Health (DOH) is now electronically linked to the City and County of Honolulu building permit office, which allows DOH to "e-sign" permits and homeowners to keep an eye on their paperwork as it moves through the system.

Applicants can track their permit applications by logging on at: http://dppweb.co.honolulu.hi.us/Dppweb, and clicking on "building permits." Permits can be tracked by permit application number, building permit number, address or tax map key number.

By going on-line, homeowners can determine which agency or office has completed their review and which agency or office has comments that need to be addressed. The new procedures enable both the City and the Wastewater Branch to better respond to inquiries about the status of building permit applications.

Building permit applications still need to be routed to the Wastewater Branch located at 919 Ala Moana Blvd., Room 309 for review. Please drop off your building permit application form and the three sets of official stamped construction plans in the drop off box located on the front counter. The Wastewater Branch usually completes processing of building permit applications within two to three working days and will call the applicant or authorized agent to pick up completed plans or to request additional information/corrections be provided.

For further information on the Wastewater Branch’s new procedures, please feel free to contact us at 586-4294 and ask to speak to our on-site wastewater engineer.
