A year is a special fast track ...we built our last home in LA County in 2017 andA year for planning and permits??...that's crazy. We built a new house in '21-'22. Contract on builder's
lot in March '21, finalized plans and structural options shortly after and they broke ground a month later in April. That included the builder having to re-submit all new plans for structural changes. I think they got the plans approved the same week they were turned in. There were over 2700 new SF houses built in this county in 2021.
I don't see how it takes that long on existing lots. Hopefully they speed that process up.
3 years from start to finish. Most small builders have left the county.
