EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Casa Grande, Arizona

Casa Grande has no standalone EV-charger/EVSE permit type or fee line item. Installing electric vehicle charging equipment (e.g., a dedicated 240V Level 2 circuit or panel/service work to support a charger) is electrical work, governed by the 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted by the City, and is billed under the same flat 'Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing Permit' consolidated fee category documented in this file's own electrical-permit entry -- not a distinct EV-charger line item. The City's FY 2025-2026 Consolidated Fee Schedule and Building Department page were checked directly and contain no EV-charger, EVSE, or electric-vehicle-specific fee or process, and no evidence was found that Casa Grande participates in SolarAPP+ (gosolarapp.org) or another instant/automated EV-charger permitting platform as of this review.

Tips

  • There is no separate EV-charger fee category in Casa Grande -- an EV charger circuit is billed as the same flat $75 residential / $300 commercial consolidated Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing Permit fee used for any single-trade electrical work.
  • Simple single-trade permits like an EV charger circuit are frequently issued much faster over the counter once completeness review clears (as fast as 2 business days), rather than taking the full 24-business-day maximum timeframe.
  • No SolarAPP+ or other automated instant-permitting platform was found for Casa Grande as of this review; do not assume an online instant-issue option exists for EV chargers here.
