Restoration in Corona
Corona posts a separate fee table for each trade, and Table C, the one that prices water heaters, is dated 10.4.26. A storage water heater of 100 gallons or less reads 63.00, 46.00 and 109.00 across the table's three fee columns. Bigger tanks cost more. Over 100 gallons, the same row shows 125.00, 74.00 and 199.00, and permits are pulled through eTRAKiT. Very High, High and Moderate fire zones all reach Corona on the CAL FIRE map for state-responsibility land.
CAL FIRE's 2025 recommendation for local land has the same three, and Corona can adopt or modify it. On the flood side, FEMA puts zones A, AE and AO against the boundary, counted by contact, not by area. Corona's median home was built in 1991. Water & Power, Corona's own department, blends water from local wells with supply imported from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. In 2025 about 55% came from MWD through Western Municipal Water District.
Local groundwater made up 45%. Every CSLB license carries a $25,000 contractor's bond, and with no state recovery fund behind it, that bond is your recourse if a repair goes wrong. You can reach the Building Division at 951-736-2250 or at City Hall, 400 S. Vicentia Ave., Monday to Thursday, 7 AM to 6 PM. Fridays it's closed.

Permits for restoration work in Corona
Start with the City of Corona building department, and ask who issues permits for the rebuild.
When repairs touch the structure or the electrical, plumbing or mechanical systems, they usually need a permit from your city or township building department, so ask the company which of you pulls it.
