DPP Oahu

Would a seller have to disclose whether they had outstanding DPP fines before selling their house?

We bought our home within the last year and we knew it had some slight modifications that were likely unpermitted. Nothing major that we didnt think we could retroactively permit. Nothing mentioned about fees or fines.

We went to submit for a permit through a contractor with an engineer and they were having issues submitting because DPP thought I had built an ADU (I haven’t built anything). Unfortunately I couldn’t get more details as it was end of the work day yada yada but plan to call Monday. I have never received a Notice of Violation or Notice of Order since we got in and never ran into an inspector. This got me thinking what if last owners had fines that have just been building up that they never mentioned.

Hopefully it’s nothing come Monday and permit gets submitted
