Spokane's Fire Recovery Dashboard | Spokane News

Spokane’s new online dashboard gives real-time updates on rebuilding after the August fires, tracking everything from demolition to new construction permits. Six weeks in, 68 demolition permits — about 13% of affected homes — have been issued, with one rebuild permit already approved and three more pending. Thirty-two roofing permits suggest widespread ember damage. To ease the burden, the city council permanently slashed demolition fees and is exploring deferring fees until homes are ready to live in. A “like-for-like” code will speed up approvals for similar-sized homes, while ADUs can now be built before main houses are rebuilt — offering quicker, cheaper paths back to property. Plus, rules around waiving utility fees are being clarified to help residents recover faster. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
