EV Charger Permit in Northglenn, Colorado

The City of Northglenn's Building Division lists "EV Chargers" as its own distinct category among the "One-Stop Permits Available Through Community Core" — the same same-visit, no-plan-review track used for water heaters, furnaces, and electrical service upgrades. It is listed separately from the "Electrical Only" one-stop category, but the City does not publish a separate EV-specific dollar fee; the Building Division's published fee schedule breaks out Residential Electrical Permit fees by enclosed living area rather than by equipment type, and EV charger installations are billed on that same area-based Electrical Permit table.

That row belongs to the general building schedule; the electrical article at Municipal Code Sec. 10-3 sets its own “Re-inspection fee for all of the above” at $57.50 flat. Sec. 10-2 carries two conflict rules that point different ways here — “the specific requirement shall be applicable” favours the $57.50 electrical row, while “the more restrictive of the two shall govern” favours the hourly charge on any job over an hour. Confirm with the Building Division which applies to an electrical re-inspection.

Tips

  • "EV Chargers" is its own line item in Northglenn's One-Stop Permit list, separate from "Electrical Only" — apply under that specific category in CommunityCore for the fastest same-visit issuance.
  • No EV-specific fee is published; expect the area-based Residential Electrical Permit fee to apply ($115 at or under 1,000 sq ft of enclosed living area, scaling up from there).
  • Confirm both City of Northglenn contractor licensing and Colorado state electrical licensure are current before applying — Northglenn will not issue the permit otherwise.
