EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Unincorporated La Paz County, Arizona

La Paz County does not publish a distinct fee line item for electric vehicle charging equipment (EVSE) in its Fee Schedule (Resolution No. 2025-05, Exhibit D). Installation of a Level 2 EV charger or similar equipment requires a standard Electrical Permit, billed under the same "Utilities" (electrical trade) fee table used for all other electrical work, under the adopted 2020 NEC (which includes Article 625, Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System). No EVSE-specific expedited process, flat fee, or SolarAPP+-style instant permitting platform was found for La Paz County.
