Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger / Charging Station Permit in Tolleson, Arizona

The City of Tolleson's Citywide Fee Schedule has no dedicated EV charger/EVSE line item, unlike Solar Photovoltaic Power Systems, which does get its own separately itemized Fire Department fee. Installing an EV charging station is electrical work, governed by the 2023 NEC (including NEC Article 625) and billed under the City's general valuation-based Building Permit Fee, the same mechanism documented in the Electrical Permit entry.
