Permits & licenses in Corona.
Inside the Corona city line the building permit, the plan review and the inspection belong to the city. California writes one code for the whole state — Title 24, the California Building Standards Code, republished by the Building Standards Commission every three years — and state law hands its enforcement to local government: the city's department inside the line, the county's on the unincorporated land outside it. Hospitals answer to HCAI and public schools to the Division of the State Architect, not to either building counter.
- The Building Division of the Planning & Development Department carries plan check and inspection for construction inside the City of Corona.
- Permit applications, fee payments, permit status and inspection requests run through eTrakit, with plan review in ProjectDox; the division also runs pre-construction meetings for new construction.

How it moves
Your package is reviewed against the current Corona submission requirements before it's filed — forms, editions, scales, signatures. Then it's tracked in the queue and carried through comments. A resubmittal means the back of the line; the pre-filing review is there to help keep you out of it. The habit comes from volume: the team has processed 400+ permits annually across Maryland, D.C., and Virginia counters.
