Building Permits in Pomona

Pomona Building & Safety, within Development Services, administers building-code review and inspections.

Plans and current code cycle

Pomona currently accepts electronic plan submittals through the Building & Safety process. California's 2025 Building Standards Code (Title 24) applies to permit applications submitted on or after January 1, 2026, subject to applicable local amendments.

Inspections

Pomona conducts Building & Safety inspections Monday through Thursday. The city's inspection-request page states that requests submitted before 4:00 p.m. can be requested for the next business day; requests after 4:00 p.m. are scheduled in two business days. Requested time frames are expressly not guaranteed. This is an inspection-scheduling rule, not a permit-review deadline.

Fees and review time

Permit and plan-review fees vary with project type and scope. The general Building & Safety materials do not establish one universal review duration, so this guide does not provide a generic permit-price or review-time estimate.

Professional design

Architect/engineer requirements depend on project type and California licensing law. A professional seal is not stated as a universal requirement for all Pomona permits.
