TMK guide · Land rules
CPR lots (condominium property regime)
A way to own part of one lot as a unit, often used for two homes on one parcel.
A condominium property regime, or CPR, divides ownership of one parcel into units under HRS chapter 514B. It is common in Hawaiʻi for two houses on one rural or agricultural lot, each sold as a unit with its own share of the land.
A CPR is not a subdivision. The parcel stays one lot for zoning, so the number of homes and the setbacks are counted for the whole lot. The units share the lot under the condominium documents.
In the tax records each unit gets its own four digit number on the end of the TMK, such as 4-4-2-016-063-0001.
What the law says, and who keeps it
What the ParcelSheet card shows
The parcel and its TMK. When the TMK carries a CPR unit, the sheet reads the lot the unit sits on.
Who to ask
The Real Estate Branch of the State Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs for condominium registration. The County Planning Department for how many homes the lot may have.
