What Does The Condominium Conversion Letter Look Like?
Developers that are applying for a Developer’s Public Report on where the condominium project that contains a structure more than twelve months after the completion of the construction, must provide a county verified letter pursuant to HRS section 514B-84(a)(2) that:
“The structures are in compliance with all zoning and building ordinances and codes applicable to the project at the time it was built, and specifying, if applicable:
(i) Any variances or other permits that have been granted to achieve compliance;
(ii) Whether the project contains any legal nonconforming uses or structures as a result of the adoption or amendment of any ordinances or codes; and
(iii) Any violations of current zoning or building ordinances or codes and the conditions required to bring the structure into compliance; or
(B) Based on the available information, the county official cannot make a determination with respect to the matters described in subparagraph (A);”
To alleviate confusion some developers and their attorneys have in asking their respective counties for these letters, the Real Estate Branch has provided several copies of such letters. These letters were pulled from publicly accessible developer’s public reports.
