REBUILDING & ADAPTING MY HOME
Rebuilding & Adapting my Home Brochure Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones
Steps in the Rebuilding Process
(VHFHSZ)
1
Debris Removal The first step in rebuilding is debris removal. The Butte County Consolidated Fire Debris Removal Program has two phases: removal of household hazardous waste and removal of other fire-related debris. Please visit https://buttecountyrecovers.org for FAQs, forms, and permit applications.
2
Home & Lot Design Working with a design professional, you will need to create a set of plans for your new home, including all required code upgrades. Now is a good time to begin interviewing and selecting a licensed contractor as well as contacting a licensed surveyor to mark your property corners. If your plans call for a factory-built manufactured home, be sure to pick up the Town’s handout on the installation of manufactured housing.
3
Permitting & Review A new Rebuilding Permit Center will guide you through the permit and review process. Permit Center staff will review your plans for compliance with all Local, State, and Federal codes. Review and approval of new structures will be expedited. The best way to ensure the shortest timeline is to work with your design professional to make sure that your submittal is complete.
4
Construction & Inspection Once your plans and permit applications are reviewed and approved, building permits will be issued. Your contractor will help coordinate a series of required inspections. Inspections may be scheduled at Town Hall.

Rebuilding & Adapting my Home Brochure What About Manufactured Housing? Manufactured housing was an important part of Paradise’s affordability. These dwelling units are currently permitted in any dwelling zone allowing single-family residences.

THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT HOUSING 1. What building codes will be required? 2. When can I submit for a building permit? 3. Will manufactured homes be permitted outside of mobile home parks? 4. Is the Town going to require anything additional related to fire safety? 5. What about residential, commercial, and landscape design guidelines/standards?
