Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger / EVSE Permit in Kayenta Township, Arizona

Kayenta Township has no dedicated standalone EV charger/EVSE permit type or fee category. Like solar/renewable-energy interconnection work, EV charger circuit installation is electrical work captured on the same Application for Trade Permit used for electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work — the Trade Permit's electrical section requires existing and new/upgraded service size (amps), which applies directly to an EV charger circuit whether or not the renewable-energy field is also used. It is billed under the Township's flat 1% Construction Permit Fee that applies to ALL construction projects Township-wide (Chapter 11, Section 11-5), the same fee explicitly confirmed to apply to solar/renewable-energy installations; no distinct EV-specific fee line exists.

Tips

  • There is no dedicated 'EV charger permit' form in Kayenta Township — EV charger circuit installations are captured on the same Trade Permit form used for electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work; select 'Electrical' and provide the service-size fields.
  • The Township's flat 1% Construction Permit Fee (Chapter 11, Section 11-5) applies to EV charger installations the same as any other construction project — there is no reduced or waived rate.

Kayenta Township, Arizona has adopted: International Green Construction Code (IGCC), 2010 edition, Public Version 2.0, as amended — Kayenta Township is documented by the U.S. EPA as 'the first Tribal community in the U.S. to adopt the International Green Construction Code (IGCC),' formalized via the Township's Building Codes Resolution. The codified ordinance itself (Regulations for the Kayenta Township Building Codes, Chapter 11, Section 11-3, Subchapter 9, adopted under Resolution KTCD-28-13, Dec. 9, 2013) states: 'International Green Construction Code, 2010 edition, Public Version 2.0, as amended.' The Township's own Ordinances and Codes page separately lists 'International Green Construction Code' as a standalone Volume 2 standard document.

This document supersedes the 2006-edition code list that appears in the Township's still-published 2013 codified ordinance (Chapter 11, Section 11-3) and in the residential/commercial Plan Review Requirements documents (which cite 2006 IRC/IBC/IMC/IPC/IFGC and the 2005 NEC). Those older editions remain visible in some still-linked documents, so the update to the 2018 I-Code family has not yet propagated across every published form — work from the 2018 editions and expect some forms to still name 2006.
