Sanitation Branch

 

Sanitation of public food sources, food establishments, and other establishments which pose a potential sanitation health problem are important to regulate in order to protect Hawaii’s health.  The Sanitation Branch is a Statewide program responsible for enforcement of the Hawaii Revised Statues and departmental administrative rules which are divided into four areas: inspections and enforcement of regulations, issuance of permits and licenses, licensing of professionals, and education. 

The branch conducts inspections of and issues permits or licenses to food establishments, milk plants, dairy farms, public swimming pools, tattoo establishments and mortuaries.  Inspectional services are also performed on regulated industries (barber shops, beauty salons and massage establishments), schools, medical facilities, care homes, and transient accommodations (hotels, hostels, etc.).

Review and approval of building plans in accordance with departmental administrative rules are conducted of newly constructed or renovated food establishments and public swimming pools. Preliminary liquor dispenser plans are also reviewed as part of the food establishment’s application for a liquor license.

Permit applications and other forms handled by the Sanitation Branch can be found on the left-hand column of this web page.  You can also use the Application Finder (on the left) to search for forms and applications. Please contact the Sanitation Branch at (
