Royal Kunia Residents Directory Basics

Royal Kunia is a residential community in the Ewa District of Oahu. It sits on a gentle hill above Waipahu. The area is part of Senate District 18, which also covers Mililani Town, Waipio Gentry, Crestview, and Waikele. There is no city hall of its own. All local services run through the City and County of Honolulu at honolulu.gov.

Royal Kunia was built in phases starting in the 1990s. Most records for the area are digital. Deeds, permits, and tax bills all sit in city and state online systems. The town shares many services with nearby Waipahu and Mililani.

Note: Royal Kunia's ZIP code is 96797, which it shares with Waipahu. That can cause confusion on some record search forms.
