LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Friday issued another order that will provide financial relief for Angelenos rebuilding homes damaged or destroyed by the wildfires — the third this week.

The order directs city departments to stop collecting permits and plan check fees associated with the repair or reconstruction of homes damaged or destroyed in the deadly January wildfires.

The city will be required to take a vote before the fees are waived, according to the mayor’s office.

The order also requests the city attorney to prepare and present a draft ordinance to waive fees to the Council for consideration.

Bass’ order is intended to support Councilwoman Traci Park’s legislation that she introduced earlier.

"City leadership must work together to remove these barriers, and today’s action provides immediate relief for residents while expediting the process for City Council to waive these fees," Bass said in a statement.

Legislation from Park, who represents the Pacific Palisades, called to waive permit and other rebuilding fees for those who lost their homes.

“They’ve been through enough, and they did not ask for this,” Park said in a statement. “So, waiving these fees is reflective of our commitment to helping them start over. I’m grateful to Mayor Bass for accelerating this effort through executive action, and I’m eager to finalize the legislative work to make it permanent.”

On Wednesday, Bass issued two other orders. One aims to further expedite the rebuilding process in the Palisades by establishing the city’s first ever plan check Self-Certification pilot program. The second one allows city staff to use AI to review project plans against building and zoning codes.

Earlier this month, Mayor Bass highlighted the start of the rebuilding process in the Palisades by visiting two different sites that have been issued building permits from the City.

To date, 27 permits for 19 addresses related to rebuilding efforts have been issued for projects in the Palisades, according to the mayor’s office. The city also has issued permits to rebuild more than twice as fast as in the aftermath of the devastating Camp and Woolsey fires.
