Health & Safety Code 18938(b): building standards adopted into the California Building Standards Code "shall apply to all occupancies throughout the state and shall become effective 180 days after publication."MORENO VALLEY NAMES ITS OWN ADOPTING ORDINANCE, which most records in this corpus cannot: the division states that "All new submittals after 12/31/25 must meet current codes effective 1/1/26 per adopted city Ordinance No. 1033." The text of Ordinance No. 1033 was NOT READ for this record, so its contents beyond that sentence are not asserted.WHICH EDITION APPLIES IS SET BY YOUR SUBMITTAL DATE: the rule is framed around "new submittals after 12/31/25", not around when work is done.

Moreno Valley's Building and Safety Division "issues permits, provides plan check and inspection services, conducts code enforcement and provides assistance to citizens in complying with jurisdictional and State building codes". It is one of the Development Service offices that keeps Friday hours, which is unusual among the California counters in this corpus.
