Rebuilding After the Mountain Fire? 
Ventura County Just Made It a Bit Easier

When disaster strikes, getting back home shouldn’t be harder than it has to be. That’s why Ventura County is taking meaningful steps to streamline the rebuilding process for residents affected by the Mountain Fire.

If you lost your home in the fire, you can now skip the zoning clearance step entirely. That means no more waiting on extra paperwork—you can head straight to the County’s Building & Safety Division and start the permitting process today.

Support That’s Ready When You Are

To help homeowners navigate the path forward, the County has formed a dedicated Mountain Fire Planning Rebuild Team—a group of planners focused solely on helping fire-impacted residents get the answers, support, and direction they need.

Whether you’re just beginning to plan or already assembling your team, this rebuild initiative is designed to cut red tape, ease stress, and get you moving forward faster.
