Remodeling in Malibu
Rebuilding on the coast.
The Palisades Fire hit Malibu neighborhoods including Big Rock, Carbon Mesa and La Costa in January 2025, years after the Woolsey Fire destroyed about 488 Malibu homes.
A rebuild is new construction, and it should be managed by someone who builds new homes. We connect Malibu families with a licensed general contractor experienced in new-home construction and wildfire rebuilds.
Malibu is entirely in the coastal zone. For Palisades Fire rebuilds, a state executive order suspended CEQA and the Coastal Act for homes rebuilt in substantially the same place and size, and the city offers fee waivers for eligible like-for-like projects. See our fire rebuild guide for the property tax rule and other steps.
