About this rebuild market
Pacific Palisadesrebuilds aren’t like new construction.
Pacific Palisades families are rebuilding under a unique combination of coastal regulations, hillside ordinances, and brand-new fire-hardening requirements. We’ve been working with displaced Palisades families since the fire — here’s how we make the process clear and predictable.
The Palisades is regulated by the City of Los Angeles Department of Building & Safety, the California Coastal Commission, and the LA County Fire Department. Each agency has overlapping requirements that catch unprepared builders off-guard. We handle every one of them in parallel — so you don’t lose months bouncing between jurisdictions.
Local code & permit context
What rebuilds in Pacific Palisades require.

- Hillside Ordinance compliance for lots above the 700-foot contour, with slope-stability requirements and grading-permit triggers.
- California Title 24 energy-efficiency upgrades — solar-ready wiring and electric-heat-pump systems on any rebuild.
