Council meeting records, ordinances, and resolution records all live there. Royal Kunia residents who need a copy of a council record can request one by phone, email, or walk-in.

The City Clerk's office keeps the official records for the Honolulu City Council. Agenda records, minutes records, testimony records, and bill records are public. Royal Kunia falls under Council District 9, so residents can track bills that may touch zoning or road records for the Kunia Plain.

The Honolulu Police Department keeps police records for Royal Kunia through HPD District 2. District 2 covers the Central Oahu area, which takes in Royal Kunia, Mililani, and Waipahu. The main District 2 station sits at 94-480 Ukee Street, Waipahu, HI 96797. Phone the station at (808) 723-8700. The station holds local incident records and can take walk-in police records requests during business hours. Most Royal Kunia calls for service get logged and routed through this station first.

Hours run Monday to Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed on state holidays. Copies of Royal Kunia incident records cost 50 cents for the first page and 25 cents for each page after.

Staff at HPD Records redact home address records, Social Security numbers, and birth date records under HRS §92F-13 before any Royal Kunia report goes out. Email public records requests to hpdpubrec@honolulupd.org.
Note: HPD asks that you list the case number on any Royal Kunia records request. If you do not have it, give the date and block address so staff can find the file.
Royal Kunia Property Records
Royal Kunia property records flow through the City and County of Honolulu Real Property Assessment Division, often called RPAD. Every Royal Kunia parcel has a Tax Map Key, or TMK, that links the parcel to tax records, permit records, and map records. Data gets updated each Monday morning. Records cover assessed value records, owner records, building sketch records, and exemption records going back to 2001. Royal Kunia lots sit mostly in the 9-4 zone prefix, which helps you narrow a search fast.
To look up a Royal Kunia property record, start at the Honolulu Real Property Tax portal or the qPublic records system. For a Royal Kunia TMK like 1-9-4-123-056-0000, drop the dashes and enter the twelve digits in the search field. Leave out suffixes like "Place" to broaden results. Click the TMK number on any result row to pull up the full parcel records file including plat map records and GIS parcel map records.
Royal Kunia has mostly single-family homes and townhomes. The community was built out on old sugar cane lands. Tax classes in RPAD reflect that mix. You will see Class A records for homes and Class O records for some condo units.
Begin a records search at the Honolulu County qPublic records system.
Note: Royal Kunia assessment records are pulled as of October 1 of the prior year. Ownership changes after that date may not show until the next tax year records update.
Royal Kunia Court Records
The First Circuit Court at 777 Punchbowl Street in Honolulu hears cases from across Oahu, and that takes in all Royal Kunia filings. Public records access terminals run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on a first-come basis at the Legal Documents Records Room. The Hawaii State Judiciary runs eCourt Kokua for online case records. Through the records portal, Royal Kunia residents can look up civil records, criminal records, family records, probate records, traffic records, land court records, tax appeal records, and appellate records.
To look up a Royal Kunia case, use the Hawaii State Judiciary eCourt Kokua portal. Circuit 1 cases take a 12-character ID. Case 12345 becomes 1PC000012345. Basic case records are free to view. Regular copies of court records cost $3 each, and certified copies cost $5 each or 10 cents per page, whichever is greater.
Small claims cases up to $5,000 from Royal Kunia go through the Honolulu District Court. Small claims records stay in the same eCourt Kokua system. Power users can buy a records subscription for $125 per quarter or $500 per year, which opens unlimited single downloads from public court records.
Royal Kunia DPP Development Records
The Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting, or DPP, keeps records of the Royal Kunia development from its early subdivision days. Records cover development permits, subdivision approvals, environmental assessment records, and zoning records. Royal Kunia was built out on the Kunia Plain over several phases. DPP has the paper trail for each phase, and later digital permit records for home additions and pool records.
View DPP records at the Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting site. The DPP online records portal lets you search permit records by TMK, permit number, or address. For older Royal Kunia records, call the DPP Customer Service counter at 808-768-8000 to set a file-pull appointment.
The DPP site also holds map records, special management area records, and shoreline records that may touch Royal Kunia even though the community sits inland. Development services staff can pull plan records and inspection records on request.
Royal Kunia permit records include building permits, electrical permits, plumbing permits, and demolition records. DPP staff flag any Royal Kunia permit records tied to an open code case so you know the status at a glance.
Royal Kunia Community Association Records
The Royal Kunia Community Association, or RKCA, is a private group that manages common areas, parks, and some private roads in Royal Kunia. The association keeps its own records. Those records are not public records under HRS §92F because the RKCA is not a state or county agency. Members can request meeting records, budget records, and CC&R records from the association office.
For public records tied to city services in Royal Kunia, the Mililani Neighborhood Board handles much of the input. Board No. 25 takes testimony from Royal Kunia residents on road records, park records, and drain records. Board records, agenda records, and minutes records are all public. Find them on the Honolulu Neighborhood Commission site.
Some items that look private still end up in public records. A permit pulled by RKCA for a clubhouse upgrade shows up in DPP permit records. A police call to a Royal Kunia park creates an HPD incident record. When in doubt, check both the association and the proper city office.
