Urban Honolulu White Pages Overview
How Urban Honolulu White Pages Access Works
Urban Honolulu sits under the same state law that covers every public record in the islands. The rule is the Uniform Information Practices Act. Chapter 92F of the Hawaii Revised Statutes sets it up. The Office of Information Practices Q&A page walks through what you can ask for, how long staff have to answer, and what fees apply. The baseline is simple. A record kept by a city, county, or state office is open unless another law closes it. You do not have to say why you want it.
City staff have ten business days to respond. If a record has mixed parts, the open parts go out in five. The first hour of search is free. After that, staff time is $2.50 per fifteen minutes. Paper copies cost $0.25 a page. Mail your request, email it, or drop it off in person at the office that holds the record. OIP posts a model request form you can copy. Staff log every ask into the UIPA Record Request Log, and the state open data portal hosts the master log twice a year.
That same law covers court files, property files, and city council papers. It is the backbone of any Urban Honolulu White Pages search.
Note: If you ignore a city agency notice for twenty business days, staff can close your request and you will have to start over.
City Council District V and Urban Honolulu
Most of Urban Honolulu falls in Council District V. That district covers Palolo Valley, St. Louis Heights, Manoa, Moiliili, McCully, Ala Moana, Makiki, and parts of Kakaako. The Honolulu City Council has nine seats. Each one runs its own office and keeps its own records. A White Pages lookup for a resident often starts by finding which district the address sits in, since the district office is the fastest way to reach a councilmember about a local issue.
The council runs a tool that maps any street to the right member. See it on the find my councilmember page, which is the quickest way to pin down a district for an Urban Honolulu address.
Type the street into the tool and it returns the district, the council office phone, and the member's name. The site posts agendas, testimony, and meeting video too.
District V committee work tends to track housing, government operations, and planning. The full Honolulu City Council site holds the public calendar, meeting papers, and expenditure reports for each office.
The main site above is where council bills, resolutions, and charter amendments all get posted for public review.
Urban Honolulu Neighborhood Boards
Urban Honolulu is cut into several Neighborhood Board districts. Ala Moana and Kakaako share one. Makiki, Manoa, McCully, Moiliili, Palolo, and St. Louis Heights each have their own. Each board holds monthly meetings. Each keeps public minutes. A Neighborhood Board file is often the best way to link a name to a street and a specific civic topic.
The city runs the program through the Neighborhood Commission Office, which posts board rosters and meeting agendas.
The commission page above links to the full list of boards, membership records, and testimony logs. These are open records under UIPA and you can ask for copies from the commission office.
Note: Neighborhood Board seats run on short terms, so the roster page updates often and may change between any two Urban Honolulu White Pages searches.
Urban Honolulu Property Records Lookup
Property data is a key part of any Urban Honolulu White Pages search. Ownership, tax, and parcel info for every lot on Oahu goes through the Real Property Assessment Division. It is part of the city's Department of Budget and Fiscal Services. Search by address, by Tax Map Key, or by map on the qPublic Honolulu County portal.
Urban Honolulu parcels start with TMK 1. That digit flags Oahu. After that comes the zone, the section, the plat, and the parcel. If you know the street, the system will pull the TMK for you. Results show assessed value, owner name, land class, and a full tax history. Basic search is free. A paid deed image runs $1 per page, and a certified copy is $5 for page one.
For deeds, mortgages, and title history, head to the Hawaii Bureau of Conveyances. The Bureau sits at 1151 Punchbowl Street and handles every recorded land document statewide. You can also pull the same data through the Hawaii Property Checker, which runs a free parcel search by address.

Urban Honolulu is the seat of the First Circuit Court. The main First Circuit Courthouse, Kaahumanu Hale, stands at 777 Punchbowl Street.

Small claims up to $5,000, traffic, and minor crimes stay in district court. Felonies and big civil cases go to circuit.
Run a name, a case number, or a ticket number through eCourt Kokua. You reach the tool from the court records search page on the Hawaii State Judiciary site.
