FELTON — Of more than 900 homes that burned in the CZU August Lightning Complex fire, just 80 property owners have been given the final green light to rebuild, according to a newly-released Santa Cruz County database.

The CZU Fire Recovery Permit Center Dashboard, published Friday, is a live database that shows where fire survivors are at in the rebuilding process. Those who lost their home in the historic wildfire — which burned roughly 86,500 acres from the Santa Cruz Mountains into San Mateo County — must go through a multistep process before beginning to break ground on a redo. In Santa Cruz County alone, the CZU Complex burned 911 homes.
