EV Charger / EVSE Permit (Dedicated Fee Category — Amount Unpublished)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. History: the FY 2025-2026 schedule carried a NAMED 'Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations (Residential) - per station' fee row whose dollar cell was genuinely blank in both the January 12, 2026 and February 16, 2026 amended versions — a confirmed gap in the City's own document. The Adopted FY 2026-2027 Consolidated Rate and Fee Schedule (effective July 1, 2026) DELETED that row outright, with the stated justification that it was not applicable to plan review fees and was duplicative of the electrical line-item fees — so an EV charger circuit is now simply ordinary electrical work: a flat $70.00 Minimal Electrical Permit when the improvement valuation is under $500 ($92.50 as a combination permit under $1,000), or the general valuation-based fee table above that. The City's 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.

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.
Verified 2026-07-23 · Source
Requirements
- A dedicated Eloy Fire District permit (submitted to the Fire Marshal's office, separate from the City's iworq building-permit portal) is required before installing an automatic fire sprinkler system, a fire alarm system, a fire pump, standpipes, an automatic kitchen hood extinguishing system, or an above-ground fuel storage tank
- Submit the Eloy Fire District permit application, a one-page site plan, and a complete set of plans/drawings to the Fire Marshal (520-466-3544) — either one electronic set of plans or two paper sets; re-submittals of approved plans should include the plan name or number
- Commercial projects must include documentation for all required fire protection systems (sprinklers, standpipes, fire alarms, kitchen suppression) even if a system is deferred, including calculations and component cut sheets
- All necessary Eloy Fire District permits must be obtained BEFORE commencing construction; starting work without the required permit results in doubled permit and review fees
- A copy of the approved Eloy Fire District Permit is a required submittal item on the corresponding City of Eloy building permit application (confirmed on the City's 2018 IRC Minimum Submittal Checklist, Part III)
- 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 2026-08-21 · 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

Previously exhausted the FY 2025-2026 schedule (all 19 pages checked page-by-page), the Building Permits/checklists/forms page, and the Community Development page/site search — no dedicated fee line item for the standalone 'Change of Occupancy' or 'Home Occupation' form was found distinct from the Certificate of Occupancy fees above. 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.

Commercial Building Permit
VerifiedRequired for new commercial/industrial construction, building shells, additions, alterations, and tenant improvements to non-residential occupancies in the City of Eloy. Reviewed against the 2018 IBC (and applicable 2018 IFC, 2018 IECC, and 2017 NEC provisions) as adopted and amended under Chapter 5 of the Eloy City Code (Ordinance No. 20-900). There is no separate tenant-improvement permit type or checklist published by the City: TI work uses the same 'COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL' project-type option on the standard City of Eloy Building Permit Application and the same valuation-based fee table as new commercial construction; the only TI-specific line item found is a distinct, lower Certificate of Occupancy fee.
