Corona, CA Accessory Structures: ADU Rental Restrictions (2026)

050(C) sets two separate limits on a Corona junior accessory dwelling unit. First, the JADU can never be sold independently of the primary unit on the lot: it is legally tied to the main house and cannot become its own separately-owned parcel. Second, while either the JADU or the primary unit may be rented out, short-term rentals of less than 30 days are prohibited for both. That means a homeowner can lease the JADU on a standard month-to-month or longer lease, but cannot list it, or the main house once a JADU is on the property, on a nightly or weekly booking platform.

030(E) impose the identical 30-day floor and no-separate-sale restriction on full-size ADUs, so the short-term-rental ban applies the same way whether the second unit is a JADU built inside the existing home or a standalone ADU. 050(D)(1) reinforces the no-separate-sale rule again as one of the items that must be written into the recorded deed restriction filed with the Planning and Development Department before a building permit issues, alongside the 500-square-foot JADU size cap in (D)(2). Because the restriction is recorded against the property, the short-term-rental prohibition and sale restriction both survive a change in ownership.
