Fire-Rebuild Rules That Save You Money
- 110% rebuild allowance (SB 330). Rebuild up to 110% of prior square footage with no discretionary review. Full freedom over layout, style, finishes.
- Permit and plan-check fees waived. Applies to the primary residence and an eligible ADU. We file the waiver applications for you.
- Streamlined plan check. Executive orders target a 30-day first-round for LADBS, LA County, Pasadena, and Malibu.
- Deadline: January 13, 2032. Permit must be issued by then. Construction must finish within three years of permit. Miss it and every benefit above disappears.
- AB 462 Coastal ADU rebuilds. Coastal Commission decides in 60 days. Your ADU can get its Certificate of Occupancy before the primary home is finished.
- Palisades Rebuild Library. Pre-approved plans that skip most of plan check. Often the single fastest path to permit.

Common questions about our fire rebuild services in Los Angeles.
Which fires does CCS handle rebuilds for?
We are active on rebuilds from every recent LA-area wildfire including the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire (January 2025), the Franklin Fire in Malibu (December 2024), and the Hurst, Kenneth, Sunset, Hughes, Lidia, and Archer fires (January 2025). We also rebuild from the Bridge Fire, Line Fire, and Airport Fire (September 2024). If your address falls anywhere in LA, Orange, or Ventura counties, we can help.
How much does a fire rebuild cost per square foot?
Rebuild costs in the affected LA neighborhoods are currently running $450 to $850 per square foot for the primary residence, depending on lot conditions, finish level, and jurisdiction. Pre-approved Palisades Rebuild Library plans on standard lots trend toward the lower end. Steep hillside lots and premium finishes push higher. A real number for your specific lot requires a site walk.
What is the January 13, 2032 deadline?
Your building permit must be issued by January 13, 2032 to qualify for the streamlined rebuild rules and permit fee waivers. Construction must complete within three years of permit issuance. Missing the deadline forfeits every fire-rebuild benefit. Practically, you want to be in plan check well before that date.
Can I add an ADU to my fire rebuild?
Yes, and in most cases you should. Under AB 462, an ADU on a rebuilt Coastal Zone lot can receive its Certificate of Occupancy before the primary home is finished, meaning rental income (or a place to live during the rebuild) starts months before the main house is done. ADU permit fees are waived alongside the primary home under the fire-rebuild fee waivers.
Can I redesign, or do I have to use my pre-fire floor plan?
You can redesign. The 110 percent rule under SB 330 as amended for fire rebuilds lets you rebuild up to 110 percent of your prior square footage without triggering discretionary review. You have full freedom over layout, exterior style, materials, and finishes inside that envelope. Above 110 percent, discretionary review can add months.
What if my insurance settlement does not cover the full rebuild cost?
Most Palisades and Altadena settlements are coming in short of what current construction actually costs. If yours is short, we help document a supplemental claim with your carrier and, if you have a public adjuster, work directly with them on the scope reconciliation. Our documentation is formatted for the carrier draw process from day one.
