Wildfires, Permitting and Construction
The City of Los Angeles has issued orders to bring relief to those rebuilding after the fires:
The city is dedicating a department solely focused on rebuilding, permitting, and construction. This applies to anyone affected by the disaster who wants to rebuild within 110% of their original footprint. For example, if you had a 1,000-square-foot home, you would be allowed to use this expedited process for a home up to 1,100 square feet.
