For homeowners looking to rebuild, we’ve expedited the permitting process by no longer requiring a zoning clearance for fire rebuilds. This means that instead of starting with our Planning Division, you can now go directly to our Building & Safety Division to apply for a Building Permit.
Our Planning Division has established a Mountain Fire Planning Rebuild Team, consisting of four dedicated planners focused solely on assisting Mountain Fire victims who wish to rebuild. This team is committed to providing personalized one-on-one support to answer your rebuilding questions and guide you through the entire process. Please feel free to call, email, or visit a team member in person at the Hall of Administration for assistance.

On December 17, 2024, the Board of Supervisors approved a series of fee waivers to alleviate the financial burden to homeowners associated with rebuilding efforts. These waivers, which will cover various essential construction-related fees, will provide financial relief to homeowners who may be underinsured or are anticipated to face the high costs of rebuilding.
View the approved waivers from the Board of Supervisors below.
In collaboration with various County agencies, including Planning, Building & Safety, Public Works, Environmental Health, Ventura County Fire Department, and the Assessor’s Office, we have developed an FAQ Guide to help answer common questions that may arise during the rebuilding and recovery process. We have also provided contact information for each agency, ensuring you can connect with the right resources quickly to receive the guidance and support you need.
