Building Permits in Corona, California

Corona's Building Division handles building plan check and inspection services and provides online permit and inspection tools, including eTRAKiT resources.

Current Code Framework

California's 2025 Building Standards Code (Title 24) became effective January 1, 2026. Corona projects must comply with the applicable state standards and local provisions in effect for the permit.

Plan Check

Corona publishes plan-check submittal requirements and project flowcharts. The Building Division describes a service goal of helping applicants obtain plan approval by or on the third plan-check review; that is a departmental goal, not a guaranteed approval deadline.

Expedited Permits

The city publishes specific expedited permit packages. Eligibility depends on the permit type and required forms; the existence of an expedited path should not be read as a promise that every permit qualifies.

Inspections

Corona allows online inspection scheduling for inspections Monday through Thursday. The city states that unusual Friday inspection requests require separate advance coordination. Required inspections depend on the approved project.

Fees and Timing

Corona publishes Building Fees and project-specific review information. This page does not use a generic fee percentage or a universal number of review weeks.
