EV Charger / Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit in Goodyear, Arizona

Goodyear requires an ev charger / electric vehicle charging station permit for: Installation of a residential or commercial EV charging circuit at 600V or less and not over 400 amperes falls under the City's standard 'Electrical' fee/permit category, the same category explicitly listing 'EV charger' as an example use alongside additional outlets, panel upgrades, and energy storage; Larger-amperage EV charger installations (e.g., commercial DC fast-charging infrastructure) fall under the higher amperage/voltage Electrical fee tiers (401-1,000 amps, or over 600V/1,000 amps) instead; A residential panel upgrade needed to support EV charger load, if it is a straightforward like-for-like or up-to-400-amp upgrade, may instead qualify for the City's expedited 'Express Lane' electrical permit process; EV charger permits are NOT eligible for SolarAPP+ instant (0-day) review -- that program is limited to residential solar PV and battery storage systems; standard review timelines apply instead; Apply through the City of Goodyear Development Services Building Safety Division, in person at the Development Center (1900 N. Civic Square) or online. If your project isn't listed, confirm with City of Goodyear Development Services — Building Safety Division at 623-932-3910 before starting work.

Goodyear, Arizona has adopted: Arizona has no mandatory statewide building code for general construction — the state legislature does not adopt a single edition binding all municipalities; each Arizona city/town or county adopts and amends its own building code by ordinance (contrast with counties, which are directed by A.R.S. Title 11 to adopt at least the most recent edition or the immediately preceding edition of the ICC codes for unincorporated areas). The City of Goodyear operates its own Development Services / Building Safety Division and administers its own adopted codes and permitting program within city limits — it does not defer to Maricopa County.
