Permitting actions to date

Since Day 1, California has worked to clear barriers and cut red tape. Governor Newsom has taken the following actions to support survivors and fast-track rebuilding:

Financial Relief and Support

Extended the LA County individual tax filing deadline to October 15
Postponed the business sales and use tax filing deadline to April 30
Waived penalties and interest on late property tax payments for a one year grace period until April 2026
Worked with state and federally-chartered banks so affected homeowners can receive mortgage relief
Provided $105 million in mortgage relief for affected homeowners

Housing Permitting Process Streamlining

Waived permitting and review requirements on rebuilding damaged or destroyed properties through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and California Coastal Act
Prohibited the Coastal Commission from interfering with the Governor's executive orders
Clarified and expanded existing exemptions under CEQA, California Coastal Act, and local governments
Allowed new homes to be rebuilt according to previous approved specifications without the need for extra review
Reduced building delays and accelerated access to original building plans
Extended construction permit deadlines to reduce administrative burdens on homeowners seeking to rebuild
Postponed deadlines for local housing element rezoning requirement for LA County

Now local government staff can prioritize issuing rebuilding permits

Housing Protection and Anti-Exploitation Measures

Expedited temporary housing by streamlining accessory dwelling unit construction

Additionally, also expanded temporary trailer allowances, and waiving mobile home park fees

Banned landlords from evicting tenants for housing fire survivors in their rentals
Protected fire victims from predatory land speculators

This safeguards homeowners from unsolicited cash offers to buy their properties

Implemented price-gouging protections against illegal increases in rent, hotel costs, and building materials
