Pomona building questions split between forms, counters, and inspections
Pomona's Building and Safety pages separate permit forms, plan handouts, counter hours, construction hours, and inspection requests, so the right step depends on the project.
Pomona’s building pages are worth reading in two layers. One layer is the counter: where to go, when inspectors are available, and which department handles building safety. The other layer is paperwork: applications, permit handouts, plan submittals, and the city’s “Do I need a permit?” materials.
That split is useful because a small home repair, a trade permit, a bigger remodel, and a business-space change do not all move the same way. Pomona keeps separate forms for electrical, grading, mechanical, plumbing, ADUs, decks, block walls, and other common project types.
If a project is already underway, inspections have their own path. The Building and Safety page links to inspection requests and daily inspection information, and it also posts counter hours and construction-hour rules. The simple move is to match the job to the form first, then use the counter or inspection path that fits that exact job.
