For title & escrow · Hawaiʻi

Land-risk belongs in the diligence file — next to title, flood, and zoning.

KILO adds cultural-resource, water (cesspool mandate + supply feasibility + federal CWA §401/§404 triggers), and shoreline-setback exposure to the parcel screen — cited, parcel-level, and fast enough to run on every file.

The problem

Some encumbrances never show up in a title search.

A title search surfaces liens, easements, and defects of record. It does not surface that the parcel carries a cesspool the owner must convert by 2050 under Act 125, that a shoreline setback constrains its buildable area, or that its cultural-resource sensitivity makes any ground disturbance a §6E-42 matter. Those facts affect use, value, and marketability just as directly — and today they reach the file late, or not at all.

Buyers and brokers increasingly expect this read as part of standard pre-offer diligence. KILO makes it a line item you can produce in minutes.

On every file

A cited, parcel-level risk read — in minutes.

Enter the TMK; KILO returns the parcel's cultural-resource band, wastewater classification, flood posture, and shoreline situation, each traced to a public source. It states explicitly when a check returns negative — so a clean read is documented as a clean read, not mistaken for a guarantee.

Wastewater classification

Which wastewater outcome attaches to the parcel.

For every Oʻahu parcel, KILO cross-references the HCPT cesspool inventory, DOH OSDS coverage, and C&C sewer mains to classify the on-site wastewater situation — a recurring marketability question on Hawaiʻi files:

Wastewater classification · live for every Oʻahu parcelFive outcomes, one signal
Cesspool documented (HCPT 2022)Cesspool replacement · mandatory by 2050 under Act 125HIGH
Cesspool in DOH OSDS only (HCPT gap)Cesspool replacement · older registrationHIGH
Septic or ATU documented (OSDS 2008)Existing on-site · replacement scenario appliesMOD
Sewer mains within ~100mSewer-lateral connection · smallest plausible footprintLOW
No sewer, no on-site documentedLikely septic for new constructionMOD

How it works

Three steps, on every file.

01
Enter the TMK
KILO returns the parcel's cultural-resource, water (wastewater + supply + nearshore quality + federal CWA permits), flood, and shoreline situation — each traced to a public source.
02
Add it to the file
A cited, parcel-level read that documents a clean check as a clean check, with the negative results stated explicitly.
03
Flag what matters
Surface the cesspool mandate, the water-supply feasibility tier, the federal §401/§404 trigger, the shoreline setback, or a contamination docket before it surfaces in the buyer's inspection.
