California Proposition 64 allows adults 21+ to cultivate up to six cannabis plants per residence for personal use, but Corona Municipal Code Chapter 5.95 prohibits all outdoor cultivation. Indoor cultivation of up to six plants is permitted only inside a fully enclosed and secure private residence, not visible from the public.
Under California Proposition 64 (2016) and Business and Professions Code Section 26200+, adults 21 and older may cultivate up to six cannabis plants per private residence for personal use. However, local governments retain authority to regulate cultivation. Corona Municipal Code Chapter 5.95 (Cannabis Regulations) bans all outdoor personal cannabis cultivation citywide. Indoor cultivation of up to six plants per residence is allowed only when the plants are inside a fully enclosed and secure structure that is not visible from any public place or neighboring property. The cultivation area must be locked, have proper ventilation, comply with all building, electrical, and fire codes (no unpermitted electrical work, no obstructed egress), and not produce odors detectable beyond the property line. Use of butane or other volatile solvents to manufacture concentrates is prohibited. Renters need landlord permission. Selling, distributing, or giving away home-cultivated cannabis is illegal without a state commercial license, which Corona does not authorize. Violations are administrative misdemeanors with fines up to $1,000 per violation per day, plus potential code enforcement abatement.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Corona code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
