What is a DPP correction notice?
A correction notice from the Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting, often called DPP, usually means something needs to be clarified, corrected, added, or changed before the permit can move forward.
It may involve drawings, forms, missing documents, zoning comments, plan review comments, HNL Build messages, or details that do not match what DPP expects.
A correction notice does not always mean the project is rejected. It usually means something needs a response.
Correction notices often appear after a permit is reviewed.
A homeowner may receive correction comments after submitting plans, forms, or documents through DPP or HNL Build.
- DPP sent correction comments.
- HNL Build shows a prescreen or review issue.
- A reviewer asked for missing documents.
- The plans need clarification or revision.
- A zoning or LUO comment appeared.
- A previous response did not resolve the issue.
- A draftsman, permit expediter, contractor, or owner-builder submission came back with comments.
- You have correction comments but are not sure what they mean.
Correction comments can keep a permit from moving forward.
Correction comments can create delays when homeowners keep guessing at what needs to change or who should respond.
Some comments may be simple. Others may require drawings, code interpretation, missing documents, or a professional response.
A document-first review helps identify what the correction notice appears to involve and what the next step may be.

Upload the correction notice for review.
Upload a correction notice, plan comments, HNL Build screenshot, email, or document — or briefly describe what happened. A local architectural professional will review what you provide and recommend the next step.
No Obligation
Upload the DPP comments or tell us what is causing trouble.
The right next step depends on what the comments are asking for.
Correction comments are not all the same. Some involve missing documents. Some involve drawing changes. Some involve zoning, code, or review questions.
The review can help identify whether the comments appear to involve missing forms, drawings, zoning, plan details, HNL Build issues, or another review concern.
Correction notices, screenshots, plan sheets, marked-up comments, permit records, DPP emails, and application documents may all help clarify the issue.
Depending on what is found, the next step may involve a revised drawing, missing document, clarification, professional response, or another recommended direction. No DPP approval can be guaranteed.
