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

Installing an EV charger circuit in Guadalupe requires the Town's combined Building Permit Application (Building/Electrical/Mechanical/Plumbing), governed by the 2011 National Electrical Code (NEC) as locally adopted. The form's Electrical section has itemized fields for 'New service (amps),' 'Sub panels,' '# of Outlets, Switches,' 'Motor, Transformer, Generator,' '# of Electrical SIGNS,' 'Temp. Power Pole,' and a catch-all 'Other Electrical' field -- confirmed by direct inspection of the current fillable PDF -- but no dedicated EV-charger/EVSE field. An EV charger circuit is billed under the same general valuation-based Building Permit Fee table used for all other electrical work, entered via the 'Sub panels' field (if a subpanel is added) or the 'Other Electrical' catch-all field (for a straightforward dedicated circuit).

When you need this permit

  • Submit the Town's combined Building Permit Application, checking the Electrical section -- use the 'Sub panels' field if the EV charger install adds a new subpanel, or the 'Other Electrical' catch-all field for a straightforward dedicated circuit off the existing panel; there is no dedicated EV-charger field
  • Declare the contract valuation of the electrical work; the fee is computed from the Town's general valuation-based Building Permit Fee table (Fee Schedule exhibit, ADOPTED April 23, 2020) -- the same table used for all other permit types
  • Unlike solar (A.R.S. 9-468, which caps solar permit fees at the Town's actual cost of issuance), no equivalent Arizona statutory fee cap was found for EV charger permits -- the full valuation-based fee schedule applies without a statutory ceiling
  • Inspections must be requested 24 hours in advance by emailing binspector@guadalupeaz.org or calling 480-505-5360
  • The permit becomes null and void if construction is not begun within 180 days of issuance, or if work is suspended/abandoned for 180 days, per the Town's own application form

Tips

  • Guadalupe uses one combined Building/Electrical/Mechanical/Plumbing Permit Application for all trades -- for an EV charger, check the Electrical section on the same form (using 'Sub panels' or 'Other Electrical') rather than filing a separate application.
  • Unlike solar, which is capped at the Town's actual cost of issuance under Arizona's statewide A.R.S. 9-468, no equivalent statutory fee cap applies to EV charger permits -- budget the full valuation-based fee.
  • The permit becomes null and void if construction is not begun within 180 days of issuance, or if work is suspended/abandoned for 180 days, per the Town's own application form.
