EV Charger / EVSE Permit (Dedicated Fee Category — Amount Unpublished)
VerifiedRequired for installation of a Level 2 (or higher) electric vehicle charger/EVSE in Eloy, governed by the 2017 NEC (Article 625) as adopted by the City. Eloy is one of the few jurisdictions in this corpus with a NAMED, dedicated fee-schedule line item for EV chargers: 'Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations (Residential) - per station' appears as its own row in the City's Consolidated Rate and Fee Schedule, immediately alongside the dedicated Residential Photovoltaic Systems line items. However, unlike the PV rows (which carry published $60.00/$30.00 figures), the EV Charging Stations row's fee amount cell is genuinely BLANK/unpublished in both the January 12, 2026 and the February 16, 2026 amended versions of the schedule (independently checked both PDFs; identical blank cell in both). Separately, the City's own Minimal Electrical Only Permit Checklist (rev. 05/25/2026) explicitly lists 'EV charger' among the equipment types requiring Load Calculations under the general 'Adding Circuits or Outlets' electrical-permit submittal category, confirming EV chargers are permitted work but do not (yet) have a published dollar figure of their own. Re-chased 2026-07-20: downloaded the live PDF directly and rendered the exact table page (p.4 of the Amended Consolidated Rates and Fees, dated November 12, 2025) as an image for direct visual inspection (not just automated text extraction, which can misalign multi-column PDF tables) -- independently re-confirmed the 'Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations (Residential) -per station' row has a genuinely empty rate cell in both the FY 2025-2026 and Amended FY 2025-2026 columns, while every neighboring row (Photovoltaic, Demolition, Temporary Trailers, Generators, Mobile Home hook-up) carries a populated dollar figure. This is a confirmed, real gap in the City's own document, not an extraction artifact.

Sign Permit
VerifiedRequired for permanent and temporary commercial/business signage in Eloy, administered by the Community Development Department using a dedicated Sign Permit Application separate from the general Building Permit Application. Plan review is billed at 65% of the calculated building permit fee and the permit fee itself is based on total sign(s)/installation valuation using the same Building Permit Fee valuation table used for building permits.
Verified 2026-07-23 · Source
Requirements
- A Sign Permit Application is required before installing permanent signage: attached/wall-mounted, projecting, awning/canopy, freeway pylon, window, electronic message center, or gas-filled signs (building signs), and freestanding/monument signs
- Temporary signage (banner signs, A-frame signs, yard signs, sign walkers) also requires identifying sign type, quantity, and location on the same Sign Permit Application
- Site Plan/Suite Layout Plan showing sign locations, dimensions, aggregate sign area, and street frontage widths required for all applications; freestanding/monument signs additionally require property lines, easements, and sight visibility triangles shown
- Freestanding/monument sign structural and footing details, and any new electrical circuitry plans to accommodate the sign, must be sealed by an Arizona-registered engineer/architect; if existing electrical circuitry will be used instead, the cover sheet must state 'No new electrical circuitry is required or will be provided for the sign(s)'
- Fascia modification or exterior color changes to a building or a fuel/gas/energy station canopy are NOT allowed, approved, or permitted through a Sign Permit — these require a separate Minor Site Plan Application, and building elevations submitted with a sign application must match previously-approved Site Plan elevations
- 'Sign' is defined per Zoning Ordinance Section 21-9-1 to include any visual element or device designed to attract attention or convey information for a business/service/product/organization, including logos, banners, balloons, streamers, inflatable structures, projected picture signs, and holographic projection signs
- Property Owner Authorization (or a notarized Property Owner's Permission Form) is required when the applicant is an agent (lawyer, planner, architect, landscape architect, etc.) rather than the property owner

Fire Sprinkler & Fire Alarm Permit (Eloy Fire District)
VerifiedEloy is served by the independent Eloy Fire District (formed August 19, 1946, predating the City of Eloy's own incorporation; serves over 10,300 residents across 55+ square miles), which conducts its own plan review, permitting, invoicing, and inspections for fire protection systems directly through its Fire Marshal's office — a separate process from the City of Eloy Community Development Building Safety Division. A single 'Operational/Special Use Permit' application covers fire alarm systems and automatic fire sprinkler systems (along with kitchen hood suppression, standpipes, and other fire protection systems), but the Fire District publishes genuinely distinct fee line items for each: a flat fee for fire alarm systems and a plan-review-plus-head-count fee structure for sprinkler systems. Governed by the 2018 International Codes and referenced NFPA standards as adopted by the Eloy Fire District.

- Permits expire if work does not begin within 180 days, or if work is suspended for 180 consecutive days; written extension requests are accepted
- Ongoing fire & life safety system inspection/maintenance reports (for fire sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems, kitchen hood suppression, standpipes, fire pumps, and other tracked systems) must be submitted electronically via The Compliance Engine (contact Brycer, (630) 413-9511, for training/support)

Certificate of Occupancy / Change of Occupancy
VerifiedCovers two related City of Eloy processes administered by the Community Development / Building Safety Division: (1) the standard Certificate of Occupancy (full, or temporary/partial/conditional) issued at completion of a building permit project, requiring sign-off from the City Engineer, Planning/Zoning, the Eloy Fire District, Water/Sewer, and the Water Department before the Building Inspector and Chief Building Official issue it; and (2) the standalone 'C of O / Occupancy Change' administrative process (also covering Home Occupation) for an existing building changing tenant, business name, or use where no work requiring a building permit (mechanical, plumbing, electrical, partitions, signs, etc.) is being performed.
Verified 2026-07-23 · Source
Requirements
- A structure may not be used, occupied, or furnished in whole or in part prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy
- A FULL Certificate of Occupancy requires the entire project to be completed with no conditions; a TEMPORARY Certificate of Occupancy may be issued once a published minimum item list is met (parking lots installed, roofing/siding complete, heating/cooling installed, electric outlets/panels/light fixtures installed, address visible from the street, water/plumbing fixtures in, smoke detectors and sprinklers operative, handrails/guardrails, emergency lights, fire-rated doors, fire alarms operative, exit signs lit, exit hardware installed, fire extinguishers if required, handicap items installed, and at least 85% of landscaping complete)
- All department approvals (City Engineer, Planning/Zoning, Eloy Fire District, Water/Sewer, Water Department) must be received before the Building Inspector can conduct the final inspection; utility clearance and the Certificate of Occupancy cannot be issued without all department approvals
- The 'C of O / Occupancy Change' form is used for a Certificate of Occupancy, a Home Occupation, or a Change of Occupancy (check one box); it requires property owner and renter/tenant information, square footage of floor area, prior use vs. proposed use, whether hazardous materials are stored on site, and whether an existing fire sprinkler system is present
- Signing the Change of Occupancy form certifies that no changes or alterations requiring a building permit (mechanical, plumbing, electrical, partitions, signs, etc.) are being made to the structure; any sign changes require separate approvals and permits regardless
- Two copies of a floor plan are required at time of Change of Occupancy application

This appears to be a no-fee administrative process when no building-permit-triggering work is involved, but that is not explicitly stated anywhere found; omitted rather than invented.
