Yes, a title report is required with an application for a Developer’s Public Report.

While a title report is not explicitly listed in section 514B-54, HRS,  as a required document, section 514B-54(a)(10), HRS, grants the Hawaii Real Estate Commission authority under to mandate “other documents and information that the commission may require.” Furthermore, section 514B-83(a)(8), HRS, requires the Developer’s Public Report to document “other facts, documents, or information that would have a material impact on the use or value of a unit or any appurtenant limited common elements or amenities of the project available for an owner’s use, or that may be required by the commission.” The title report serves as an indispensable tool to find easements, covenants, conditions, and restrictions, agreements, and liens to meet the requirements under section 514B-83(a)(8), HRS, that would materially impact the value of the property to a prospective buyer.

Please review the document checklist for the required documents.
