EV Charger / EVSE Permit
VerifiedThe City of Peoria permits EV charger installations as electrical work via the 400M – Miscellaneous Building Permit Application (the same standalone-electrical mechanism used for service upgrades, subpanels, and solar de-rates), governed by the 2017 NEC as adopted with City amendments per Ordinance 2019-12. A secondary source (search-indexed content citing Peoria City Code Fee Table 27-6, Development and Engineering Department/Building Safety fees) reports a possible flat $45.00 fee category covering 'additions, alterations, remodeling, accessory structures, EV chargers, meter relocation and service replacement,' but this specific figure could not be independently confirmed against the primary source in this review — both codelibrary.amlegal.com (Cloudflare-blocked, HTTP 403) and the City's own live Development Fee Schedule PDF (also HTTP 403) refused automated access, and a repeat search did not reproduce the same figure. The independently verified fee mechanism is the City's general valuation-based Electrical Permit fee (minimum $87), documented in this file's electrical-permit entry from the same Development Fee Schedule (Rev. 9/2025).

Requirements
- Electrical work for an EV charger must comply with the 2017 NEC as adopted and amended per Ordinance 2019-12
- Submit online at devservices.peoriaaz.gov with a 400M – Miscellaneous Building Permit Application for a standalone EV charger circuit; electrical work within a larger building permit uses that project's application instead
- Contractor information (name, Peoria Business License, AZROC number) required at permit issuance
- A possible dedicated flat fee for EV chargers is referenced in secondary sources citing Peoria City Code Fee Table 27-6, but was not independently confirmed against the primary source in this review — confirm current fee directly with Development Services before applying

|---|---|---|
| Electrical permit — valuation-based (independently verified mechanism) | Valuation-based permit fee per Development Fee Schedule. Minimum fee $87. | Peoria Development Fee Schedule, Rev. 9/2025 — the same mechanism documented in this file's electrical-permit entry; plan check fee is an additional 65% of the permit fee |
| Possible dedicated flat fee (unconfirmed) | $45.00 — reported by secondary/search-indexed sources as covering 'additions, alterations, remodeling, accessory structures, EV chargers, meter relocation and service replacement' under Peoria City Code Fee Table 27-6 | Could NOT be independently confirmed against the primary source in this review: codelibrary.amlegal.com and the City's live Development Fee Schedule PDF both returned HTTP 403 (Cloudflare-blocked) on repeated attempts, and a follow-up search did not reproduce this figure. Presented for transparency, not as a confirmed fact — verify directly with Development Services (peoriaaz.gov) before relying on it. |
