19 months after the Palisades fire, 1,306 of the 5,864 destroyed lots have a rebuild permit, so 22% [MAP]
I work at a mapping company and wanted to see where the Palisades rebuild is actually happening, lot by lot.
Green is a destroyed lot with a rebuild permit; teal is a destroyed lot with none found.
How it was counted:
- Destroyed lots: CAL FIRE's damage inspections, matched to LA County parcels (5,864 lots).
- Permits: City of LA and LA County rebuild permits, matched by parcel number, issued through August 2026.
- Demolition permits, temporary housing and applications that haven't been issued don't count.
What it can't tell you:
- Malibu's city permits aren't included, so the Malibu lots (622 of them) will read low.
- An issued permit is not a finished home.
- Some of the large teal shapes are big non-home parcels, which make the empty areas look bigger than they are.
The permits cluster in the Palisades grid; the canyons and the coast toward Malibu are mostly teal.
If you live there, does this match what you're seeing in the rebuild live?
