EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Peoria, Arizona

The 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 has not been confirmed against the primary sources (the codified code at codelibrary.amlegal.com and the City's own live Development Fee Schedule PDF) and should be treated as unverified. The independently verified fee mechanism is the City's general valuation-based Electrical Permit fee (minimum $87), documented in the electrical-permit entry from the same Development Fee Schedule (Rev. 9/2025).
