Apply for Permits

Temporary housing and rebuild project applications may be submitted online or in person at any field office. LA County will accept applications when a property owner is ready to submit. However, Phases 1 and 2 of debris removal must be completed before permits are issued.

Temporary housing applications will be reviewed within two business days. Rebuild project applications will be reviewed within 10 business days. After LA County staff determines whether the project qualifies as a like-for-like rebuild, they will follow up with next steps.
