EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Unincorporated Mohave County, Arizona

Mohave County does not publish a distinct EV charger/EVSE fee line. Installing electric vehicle charging equipment in unincorporated Mohave County requires a standard Electrical Permit under the adopted 2017 NEC (Ordinance 2021-03), billed under the county's itemized Unit Fee Schedule (Ordinance 2018-02): an Electrical Permit Issuance Fee plus per-item unit fees for the new circuit/receptacle and, if the installation requires a service upgrade, the applicable service-size fee tier. Residential service repairs/upgrades up to 200 amps — the typical case for a Level 2 EV charger — are processed over-the-counter without formal plan review.

Tips

  • A typical residential Level 2 EV charger circuit (200-amp service or less) can be processed over-the-counter at the Kingman Building Division office — no lengthy plan review needed for this common case.
  • Budget for the $39 Electrical Permit Issuance Fee plus the applicable unit fee(s) for the new circuit/service — Mohave County itemizes electrical fees by component rather than charging a single flat EV charger fee.
