Corona Property Records
Property records are a solid way to find Corona residents who own homes or land. The Riverside County Assessor keeps data on every parcel in Corona. You can search by owner name or by address. Results show assessed values, property details, and ownership information. Corona has a mix of older homes in the circle area downtown and newer developments in the eastern parts of the city. All of these properties generate records that are open to the public.
Recording fees for new documents follow the state schedule. The first page costs $15. Each added page is $3. Transfers of property ownership create grant deeds that are recorded at the county level. These deeds show buyer and seller names, which helps when you are trying to find someone through the Corona residents directory.
Note: The Riverside County Assessor updates property data annually, so ownership records for Corona may not reflect very recent sales until the next update cycle.
