The Los Angeles area continues to see progress after the January fires, which destroyed many beloved neighborhoods and communities. Permits are being secured, and homeowners have options to speed up the process so they can get back into their homes faster. This article contains an update on how the county is recovering as it rebuilds. 

Ongoing Investigations into Wildfire Origins

In late April, federal officials conducted a controlled fire in the Pacific Palisades in an effort to understand the cause of the January wildfires that destroyed many Los Angeles communities. The origin of the fire in this area is unclear, although the likely source appears to be human activity. However, local homeowners question whether power lines contributed to the blaze. The state has estimated that the Palisades Fire may be the most economically costly fire to devastate the area, causing billions of dollars in damage. 

Where the Rebuilding Process Stands

Last month, the first batches of permits were granted to a handful of residents to begin the process of rebuilding their homes. Now, homeowners find themselves needing to choose between gas and electric appliances in their rebuilt homes. While gas is still an option, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass recently announced that homeowners who commit to rebuilding their homes with all-electric appliances will qualify for an expedited permit process.

How to Get Started Rebuilding Your Home

The best way to start the rebuilding process is to submit your building plans to Los Angeles County after choosing a home building company to work with, such as Creative Innovation Developers. Be sure to apply for any grants or assistance available to homeowners like you looking to rebuild in your community. After applying, you’ll need to wait for official approval of your permit before construction can begin.
