Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station / EVSE Permit in Walsh, Colorado

The Town of Walsh has no dedicated EV charger/EVSE permit, application, or fee, and its official Permits page (which lists only Burn Permit, Building Permit, and Mobile Home Permit) is entirely silent on electrical work of any kind, including EV charging equipment -- the same gap already documented for solar PV interconnection on this file's solar-pv-permit entry. If the EV charger installation involves a new structure (e.g., a carport or shelter to house the charger), that would fall under the Town's single general Building Permit process ($15.00 flat filing fee, Board of Trustees approval at its monthly meeting) the same way solar installations are treated as 'any structure built within town.' A standalone wall-mounted charger with no new structure has no identified TOWN-level permitting mechanism -- but because Walsh has no local electrical inspection program at all (its Permits page lists no electrical permit of any kind), the electrical/EVSE-circuit work itself falls under the Colorado State Electrical Board (DORA/DPO)'s statewide electrical permit and fee schedule, the same state fallback mechanism that applies to all electrical work in jurisdictions without a local electrical inspector. Walsh's population (roughly 500) is far below the 10,000-person threshold that triggers 'covered municipality' status under Colorado's HB24-1173 (Electric Vehicle Charging System Permits Act, effective 8/7/2024), so that statute's mandatory adoption and 3-business-day decision-notification requirements do not apply here.

When you need this permit

  • No standalone EV charger/EVSE permit, application, or fee exists; the Town's official Permits page lists only Burn Permit, Building Permit, and Mobile Home Permit, with no electrical-work category of any kind
  • If the installation includes a new structure (carport, shed, or similar to house the charger), a Building Permit application would be required per the Town's general 'any structure built within town' standard, submitted to the Town Clerk or Town Superintendent, with Board of Trustees approval at its monthly meeting (first Monday after the 10th)
  • A standalone EVSE circuit/wall-mount with no associated new structure has no identified town-level permitting mechanism -- confirm directly with Walsh Town Hall (719-324-5411) whether any process (town or otherwise) applies
  • No adopted model building or electrical code (IBC/IRC/NEC) applies at the town level for any permit type in this file; Board of Trustees approval is a governmental action, not a technical code-compliance plan review
  • Walsh's population is far below the 10,000-person threshold for 'covered municipality' status under Colorado HB24-1173, so the Act's mandatory EV-permitting-standards adoption and 3-business-day decision timeline do not apply as a legal requirement here

Fee schedule

Colorado State Electrical Board Permit Fee (EV charger/EVSE circuit) -- Section B, non-living-area installationColorado Revised Statutes § 12-115-121 (State Electrical Board permit-fee authority; renumbered from the commonly-cited § 12-23-117 effective 10/1/2019). The Town of Walsh's own official Permits page lists only Burn Permit, Building Permit, and Mobile Home Permit -- no electrical permit or electrical inspector of any kind -- confirming the Town has no local electrical inspection program. Per DORA's own published framework, the Colorado State Electrical Board performs electrical inspections in locations throughout the state not inspected by a local authority, so all electrical work in Walsh, including an EV charger/EVSE circuit, falls under this state fee schedule. Confirm the current exact figure with the State Electrical Board, 303-894-7800, since fees are reviewed and adjusted periodically.
$90 base fee for valuation up to $2,000, plus $8.00 per additional $1,000 of valuation (rounded up) -- per the State Electrical Board's May 2019 published schedule; a 2024 Colorado legislative fiscal note (HB 24-1263) documents the base state electrical inspection fee increasing from $88 to $92 effective FY2024-25, so the current exact base figure may be modestly higher than $90
Building Permit Filing Fee (if a new structure is involved)Same flat fee that applies to any structure built within town limits, per the Town of Walsh's official Permits page -- covers the structural/non-electrical portion only if the charger is paired with a new carport or shelter.
$15.00

Tips

  • Walsh's Permits page is silent on electrical work of any kind, including EV chargers -- the same genuine gap already documented for solar PV interconnection. Call Walsh Town Hall (719-324-5411) directly before assuming no process applies, rather than treating silence as a green light.
  • If your EV charger installation is a simple wall-mount with no new structure, it may fall entirely outside Walsh's published permitting scope -- this is a genuine finding after checking the Town's official Permits page, not an omission from insufficient chasing.

Apply through Town of Walsh (Town Clerk / Town Superintendent administer applications; Board of Trustees approves at regular meeting) at Walsh Town Hall, Walsh, CO 81090. Phone: 719-324-5411. Office hours: Not published on the Town's website as of this review; contact Walsh Town Hall at 719-324-5411.

Walsh, Colorado has adopted: NONE — no evidence was found anywhere on the Town of Walsh's official website (townofwalsh.colorado.gov), including its dedicated Permits page (town-admin/permits) and Town Admin/Board page, of any adopted IBC, IRC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, or NEC edition, or any other model building code. The Permits page describes the Building Permit and Mobile Home Permit processes entirely in terms of Board of Trustees approval, lot-dimension/setback rules, and a flat filing fee — with no reference to a technical code-compliance plan review of any kind.; This is consistent with the precedent pattern already in this corpus for a very small Colorado statutory town with a genuine but minimal permitting process (Town of Sedgwick, Sedgwick County, CO — sedgwick-town.json), where a real, town-branded, Board/Zoning-Administrator-reviewed permit process exists without any adopted model building code.. Local amendments apply — see the Walsh overview page for the full list.
