How to schedule

Inspections are requested through the building department below.

Address: 400 South Vicentia Avenue, Suite 120, Corona, CA 92880
Phone: 951-736-2250
Email: BuildingPlanCheck@CoronaCA.gov (plan review); BuildingInspection@CoronaCA.gov (inspections and pre-construction meetings)
Office hours: THE PUBLISHED HOURS ARE CITY HALL'S, NOT THE DIVISION'S: "Corona City Hall is open Monday - Thursday 7 AM - 6 PM. Closed Friday." A control read confirmed the page gives NO separate counter hours for the Building Division, so this record reports City Hall's and does not assert that the building counter keeps the same ones. Note the shape of the week: four days of eleven hours each, an early start and a late finish, with Friday closed.

Published scheduling rules

THE TWO MAILBOXES ARE SPLIT BY FUNCTION, NOT PROJECT TYPE - plan check questions and inspection scheduling go to different addresses. (Building Permit)
MAILBOXES SPLIT BY FUNCTION, WHICH IS UNUSUAL. Most cities in this corpus that run multiple addresses split them by PROJECT TYPE - Rancho Cucamonga routes solar, reroofs and patio covers separately from everything else. Corona splits by what you want to DO: BuildingPlanCheck@CoronaCA.gov for the plan review process, BuildingInspection@CoronaCA.gov for scheduling inspections and pre-construction meetings. (General)
