Kauai's Mayor, Bernard Carvalho, Jr., recently signed a bill into law that extends the deadline for obtaining a building permit for an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) from Dec. 15, 2014, to Dec. 15, 2024. Property owners who have obtained an ADU facilities clearance form before June 16, 2007 will qualify. The Garden Island reports that "qualified landowners with valid building permits who have not reached substantial construction on their ADUs, as well as those that intend to re-submit their building plans but have expired building permits, are required to seek re-certification by close of the business day on Feb. 17, 2015."
